BrightStar Education Group, Inc. (”BSEG” or the “Company”), a five college for-profit school group located just outside of Denver, CO announced today that it has promoted Curtis Anderson as its new Corporate Training & Development Manager and Quintrell Jones to Director of Admissions at the Institute of Technology-Modesto campus.

Anderson has successfully served at the company as Director of Admissions at our Modesto, CA campus for over three years.  In this role at the Institute of Technology, Anderson was directly responsible for local marketing decisions, sales training and driving top line revenue growth.

Prior to Anderson’s time with the Modesto campus, he worked with Kaplan Higher education for 13 years.  Anderson had the role of admissions rep before being promoted to DOA at Andon College in Modesto and later to the district DOA position.  Curtis took the role of DOA at the IOT campus in Modesto just over three years ago, and has helped the school grow from 380 students to over 1,100 students currently.

“Curtis and I have worked together for a number of years. During this time I have watched him progress and become one of the top sales trainers in the industry.  As with all internal promotions, we are blessed to leverage his expertise on behalf of the entire company, especially as we continue to add several new campuses,” said Jim Haga, President and CEO of BrightStar Education Group, Inc.

“I have worked in admissions for a long time and love the job that we do.  Helping students reach the goal of a better life and a new start is the greatest feeling.  Over the years, I have worked with Mr. Haga and have learned a lot from him that has helped me be better at my job, and I look forward to passing that training on to help others in BSEG.  I have a strong belief in the sales process that we use at IOT, and I know that taking on this role as the CTDM will be challenging as well as rewarding,” said Anderson.

Anderson’s new role is responsible for the training and development of admissions representatives. At BrightStar, we recognize that solid training develops skills, enhances productivity and quality of work, and builds loyalty to the company.

Taking Curtis’ place as the DOA of the Modesto campus is Quintrell Jones.  Quintrell worked previously as a Navy recruiter for more than 10 years, and has been working as Assistant DOA since November of 2009.

“Quintrell came to the Modesto campus with a can-do attitude and has already had great success leading our High School enrollment team, which could be the top in the company this year.  He will be able to use his vast military recruiting experience to his benefit in his new role as DOA. We welcome the new changes and ideas that he will bring to the campus as he continues to push the Modesto team to another successful year,” said Lillian Enger, Modesto’s Campus President.

When speaking of his promotion, Quintrell had this to say, “Leadership is taking a group of every day people and accomplishing extraordinary things, I look forward to the task.  Turn two.”  For those not familiar with the Navy jargon, the phrase “turn two” translates to “get to work!”

Please join me in welcoming Curtis and Quintrell into their new roles.
