Podcast #27: Should Your School Become a B Corp?

/in /by

We have all read the reams of bad press about proprietary schools. If you are a school leader in this area, you know most of it is off-base or just plain incorrect.

One way to instantly prove to the world that your proprietary school is ethical and community-minded is to become B Corp Certified. B Corporations are certified that they treat their employees well and are net benefactors for the community and environment; otherwise known as a Triple Bottom Line Organization.

Fun Fact: Enrollment Resources Inc. was the first marketing company in North America to be Certified as a B Corp.
