Are you someone who knows how to motivate others to follow through and succeed?

Do you enjoy building strong relationships while also holding people accountable to their goals?

About the Role

The Student Success Coordinator plays a critical role in supporting students from onboarding through graduation, with a primary focus on retention, certification completion, and academic persistence.

This is not a passive student services role. You will “walk alongside” students—building trust while also pushing, motivating, and holding them accountable to complete certifications and stay on track. Success in this role is defined by your ability to engage students consistently, remove barriers, and drive measurable outcomes.

You’ll manage a caseload of students and work cross-functionally with academics, admissions, and student support teams in a metrics-driven, performance-focused environment.

Retention & Certification Support

• Partner closely with Academic leadership and instructors to monitor student progress
