Initially we will be bringing back students in select programs and those nearing graduation who need the hands-on skills training to complete their education. We will gradually transition to full scale operations as is practical and allowed.\"\nThe Company has approximately 722 students currently enrolled at its Denver campus, located at 11194 East 45th Ave. Currently, nearly 89% of those students are training for careers that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) deems essential. \n\"We want to thank our faculty, staff, and especially our students for the way they've handled the transition to remote leaning over the last two months,\" says Dr. Kelly Moore, President of the Denver campus. \"It's been inspiring to see how committed our students have remained to their career readiness. Now it's time to welcome them back to campus so they can complete the hands-on work they need to graduate and enter the workforce. Colorado and the nation will need these skilled professionals as we recover from this unprecedented shutdown.\"\nThe campus has been a mainstay in Colorado's capital for more than 55 years, providing hands-on career training in the Automotive and Skilled Trades industries. Leading employers like Bridgestone Firestone and Chrysler have chosen the campus to provide partnership training programs that increase career opportunities for graduates.
