Item Corporation

Integrated Training and Education Management (ITEM) is a private equity investment firm that acquires, manages, and grows small to middle-market private career colleges, corporate training and adult learning companies. We believe that the best opportunities to create significant value are found in companies in need of new capital and new ownership structures. Our goal is to provide attractive exit options for owners and operators of small to medium-sized privately held enterprises and to provide divestiture opportunities for divisions of corporate parent companies that no longer reflect the company's strategic focus. We are long-term investors who believe that success in the education business is based on a disciplined focus on business fundamentals and experience. Our targeted emphasis on one industry sector allows us to achieve numerous synergies across our portfolio companies. We use a common management framework to evaluate our success. We care about the customers, the employees, and the communities of the firms we acquire, and we work hard to protect their interests throughout the acquisition process. We believe these qualities make ITEM an attractive means to maximize the value of your business. ITEM is particularly interested in investment opportunities where existing management teams are retiring or where key executives need to be added, but ITEM also appreciates investment opportunities where the management team will remain with the company. ITEM is a unique "one-stop" platform for the corporate training and educational services industry.
