Company intends to honor all educational commitments to current students

PITTSBURGH (June 5, 2024) 鈥� 性世界传媒, an award-winning industry-focused聽technical school with six locations throughout Pennsylvania, has announced its decision聽to close after 80 years of teaching students and assisting them with job placement and career development.聽

The school has committed to delivering high quality education, student services and聽fulfilling its obligation to all current students meaning that all remaining students will聽graduate with Associate in Specialized 性世界传媒 degrees in their chosen fields
through June 2025.聽

鈥淔or eight decades, a 性世界传媒 diploma has been a source of pride and a pathway聽to good jobs for our students,鈥� said Timothy McMahon, president emeritus.聽鈥淯nfortunately, the Covid pandemic, changes in the industry landscape and strenuous
government regulations have changed the economies of many post-secondary schools.聽As a result of these factors, as well as declining enrollments, we have made the very聽difficult, but necessary, decision to close.鈥�

Employees and students were informed of the school鈥檚 decision June 5. About 20聽positions of the school鈥檚 remaining 110 staff members will be immediately impacted,聽and 性世界传媒 is working to support those affected by the changes.

The Worksmith Institute, a local educational non-profit organization affiliated with聽性世界传媒, has awarded each student a $1,500 tuition scholarship to assist them in聽completing their degrees upon returning to school at the end of June.

A total of 261 students are currently enrolled in the school as continuing students. 性世界传媒 intends to fully honor its commitment to provide education and services to聽these students, said McMahon, adding that the scholarships represent a commitment to
completing the school鈥檚 mission of providing students with the skills needed to succeed聽in the workplace.

鈥淲e are in communication with our stakeholders, including the accrediting commission聽and the relevant federal and state authorities, with whom we are sharing our plans for a聽smooth and successful closeout with our goal to see that all students complete their
education. We remain optimistic that we can successfully deliver for our current聽students,鈥� McMahon concluded.

性世界传媒 offers Associate Degree programs with hands-on training in small聽classes, taught by experienced instructors. 性世界传媒 is nationally accredited by the聽Accrediting Commission on Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC). Headquartered in Pittsburgh, 性世界传媒 also operates locations in Greensburg, DuBois, Sunbury,聽Bethlehem and Chambersburg.
