Five Benefits To Going Back To School In The Summer

Summer may be synonymous with vacation but there are a lot of benefits to going back to school while the rest of the world is lounging on the beach. CBBC Career College has some fantastic programs starting in the summer and we think you should be in them. To motivate you (and everyone else) to head back to school sooner than later, we’ve compiled a list of five reasons why you should go back to school this summer.

1. It’s still a pandemic. 

The world may be opening up but we won’t be back to travelling freely and spending our days brunching and shopping like we used to any day soon. We’re a few months away (at least) from concerts and big events as well and boredom definitely has most of us in its clutches. So, why spend another day binge watching Netflix when you can get started towards achieving your education goals? You can get a lot done without FOMO (because your friends are probably hanging out at home wallowing). 

2. You’ll get a higher paying job faster

Everyone likes making more money right? The fastest way that you can get a bump in salary is to gain some more education. Say you graduate and find a job that pays you $4 more an hour than you make right now. That salary bump will work out to $693 a month in a 40 hour a week job. For every month that you put off going to school you are not putting that extra money in your pocket and that’s a shame. 

3. Get the job you love sooner than later

Not only will you make more money sooner, but you’ll find a position that challenges you sooner too! If you dislike your job, two to three more months can seem like an eternity. Don’t wait, make a change now that will get you into a job that you love sooner. Plus as a bonus, you’ll be out on the job market sooner scooping up the jobs before everyone who went back to school in September will miss out on!

4. Take advantage of flexible learning opportunities due to COVID-19

COVID-19 means that some of our learning has temporarily moved online. Yes we look forward to going back to the classroom (and we cannot wait to have our students back on campus) but it’s also kind of nice to attend class at home in your sweat pants. Things may change and we may be back to in-person learning soon, but if not you can work at home and still gain the quality education that you need to get hired in a fantastic new career! 

5. There are so many great programs starting soon! 

Seriously. Our summer programs are fantastic and we would love to have you in them! We would like to recommend our Business Administration (get the foundation you need for a job in HR, business admin, marketing, and HR!) and Medical Office Administration with Ward Clerk  (run a medical office and take advantage of the surge in healthcare jobs!). Our student Admissions advisors would love to chat with you more about these fantastic programs and more!

So what are you waiting for?

Education is one of the smartest things that you can invest in. The possibilities are endless! Don’t wait, take the first step towards your new career today. Start your application now online. Click here to get started!

What Our Graduates Are Saying

I think the thing that has stood out to me the most in the program is how much the teachers care about your success and how they work hard to create a positive environment to learn in. It’s really amazing! They really encourage all the students to celebrate each other’s successes and help each other out. I really struggled with the decision of which school to attend, and I know that I made the right choice.
