Second consecutive year CCA has been recognized by staff for its policies, practices, and employee experiences
HARRISBURG – Commonwealth Charter Academy (CCA), the largest K through 12 public cyber charter school in Pennsylvania, for the second consecutive year, has been selected by the Central Penn Business Journal and Lehigh Valley Business as one of the Best Places to Work in PA for 2023, among 46 businesses/organizations in the large companies category.
“CCA strives to treat its employees with respect, dignity, and professionalism and provide staff with a high-quality work environment, competitive compensation, excellent benefits, and a work-life balance,” said CCA President and CEO Thomas D. Longenecker. “How we treat our staff is directly reflected in the care and compassion they express to our enrolled students and their families. Team CCA takes pride in their work and they are to be applauded for all they do each and every day for our students, families, and each other.”
Founded in 2003, CCA is a family service organization with an expertise in education that enrolls nearly 24,000 students from across Pennsylvania and employs more than 1,900 administrators, teachers, and staff.
With its in-house designed and created proprietary learning management system and K-12 courses, CCA employs state-of-the-art, first-in-the-industry, innovative practices to deliver high-quality, flexible educational programs and services to students throughout Pennsylvania.
“CCA is not only the leader of online education, but we are unique among all public schools because we put students and families at the very center of every decision we make,” said Mr. Longenecker. “Our success is directly linked to Team CCA’s commitment to preparing today’s students for the jobs and economy of tomorrow.”
Best Places to Work in PA identifies, recognizes, and honors the best places of employment in Pennsylvania in three categories: small companies, with 15 to 99 employees; medium companies, with 100 to 249 employees; and large companies, with 250 or more employees. To be considered, companies must have at least 15 full- or part-time employees working in Pennsylvania; be a for-profit or not-for-profit business or government entity; be a publicly or privately held business; have a facility in the state of Pennsylvania; and be in business a minimum of one year.
There were two parts used to determine the rankings. The first consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices, and demographics, worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience, which consisted of 75% of the total. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking.
“The 2023 Best Places to Work in PA honorees know what it means to create a culture in their organizations that results in teamwork and excellence. They are champions of business who know that the people in their companies are the keys to their success,” said Suzanne Fischer-Huettner, managing director of BridgeTower Media/Central Penn Business Journal and Lehigh Valley Business. “We are pleased to join with the Best Companies Group to recognize this year’s winners.”
