:: Chubb Institute

In an academic context, the Association for Computing Machinery defines IT as "undergraduate degree programs that prepare students to meet the computer technology needs of business, government, healthcare, schools, and other kinds of organizations .... IT specialists assume responsibility for selecting hardware and software products appropriate for an organization, integrating those products with organizational needs and infrastructure, and installing, customizing, and maintaining those applications for the organization’s computer users."

In a business context, the Information Technology Association of America has defined information technology as "the study, design, development, application, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems". The responsibilities of those working in the field include network administration, software development and installation, and the planning and management of an organization's technology life cycle, by which hardware and software are maintained, upgraded and replaced.

The business value of information technology lies in the automation of business processes, provision of information for decision making, connecting businesses with their customers, and the provision of productivity tools to increase efficiency.

Information technology (IT) is the use of computers to store, retrieve, transmit, and manipulate data,[1] or information, often in the context of a business or other enterprise. IT is considered to be a subset of information and communications technology (ICT). An information technology system (IT system) is generally an information system, a communications system or, more specifically speaking, a computer system – including all hardware, software and peripheral equipment – operated by a limited group of users.

Anthem Education Group (formerly The Chubb Institute) is a Florida-based organization that operates a chain of for-profit, technical schools in the United States, called Florida Career College. In 2018, their website lists 11 campuses, ten in Florida and one in Houston, Texas. Anthem is also accredited by Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS). [1]

The organization was founded in 1970 as The Chubb Institute, the employee training arm of the Chubb Corporation, an insurance company. Its initial focus was on computer-related training, and training in medical fields was added later.

Facing lawsuits and financial losses, Chubb Corporation put the school for sale in 2004 and eventually sold it for $1 to a partnership of private equity firms called Great Hill Partners and the High-Tech Institute, a network of similar technical schools based in Phoenix, Arizona.[2] Chubb Corporation recognized a $31 million loss from the sale.[3]

The organization lost $9 million in 2005. The location in Chicago was renamed to Banner Institute in January 2006, and the location in Arlington, Virginia was renamed Banner College.[2][4] However, as of 2007, the Washington Post reported that the chain was still struggling with lawsuits and challenges to accreditation.[2] Banner College in Virginia closed in August 2008 after ten years of operation.[5]

By 2010, the colleges were being operated by the Anthem Education Group, a company owned by Great Hills Partners.[6] At that time, the group was based in Phoenix and operated 23 accredited colleges.

In 2012, the company was acquired by Education Training Corporation in Florida.[7] The merger expanded the educational areas offered by AEG. As of November 2013, the group operated 8 brands, including Anthem College, Anthem College – Bryman School, Anthem Career College, Florida Career College, FCC Anthem College, Anthem College Online, Anthem Institute, and Morrison University.[8]

In 2013, the company operated 34 campuses in various states and one online institution before closing most of its campuses.

In August 2014, Anthem Education Group filed for bankruptcy and closed abruptly in several states. [9]

In 2016, Anthem's accreditor, ACICS, lost its authority, until it was temporarily restored in 2018.
