Online Support Center to bring 750+ jobs to Orange County
Kaplan University, a leading provider of online higher education, announced this week they will open a new online student support center in a two-story, 124,000-square-foot space at 12650 Ingenuity Drive in the Central Florida Research Park. Slated for opening in January, the facility will house admissions advisors, financial aid officers, human resources and information technology representatives who will support Kaplan University's online students.
Kaplan has already begun hiring in Orlando. The University expects to employ as many as 750 people over the next four years. In announcing this location decision, Andrew Rosen, President of Kaplan University, said, "We looked at 20 different cities and decided that the Orlando site was the best fit for the University because of its affordable cost of living and great labor pool."
Kaplan has four other online student support centers in South Florida, as well as centers in Chicago and Phoenix. Kaplan University is part of Kaplan Higher Education, which serves more than 80,000 students through 70 campus-based schools across the United States and in Europe.
