With CCA, your career path will put you in the fast lane.

Most of our employees are very ambitious. They want to move forward in their corrections careers in order to reach even higher levels of personal and professional satisfaction. And we’re very proud to offer them a clear path to promotional opportunities, even the possibility to relocate to one of our nationwide centers.

For instance, qualified security professionals can advance from Correctional Officer to Senior Correctional Officer, Unit Manager, Assistant Shift Supervisor, Shift Supervisor, Chief of Security, Assistant Warden and, ultimately, to Warden.

Other career opportunities are also available. CCA employs teachers to provide basic education, GED preparatory courses, and vocational training for inmates. Also, our counselors help prepare inmates for successful readjustment into society upon their release through addictions treatment and psychological counseling.

CCA makes every effort to promote from within. Vacancies are posted throughout the company. We provide ongoing education/training and are receptive to employees’ ideas about achieving additional professional responsibilities and opportunities.

If you’re a person who wants to treat your career path like a fast track – up the career ladder and across the country – CCA is the place for you.
