He later served as a financial aid representative before being promoted to Director of Admissions, where he led admissions teams at seven campuses across Louisiana. In this role, he developed and trained the teams across all locations with the college. Every new admission representative and financial aid representative was onboarded and coached by Collise in a training program developed by him, and every quarter, the admissions team would attend workshops developed by him to cover a wide range of topics regarding students at the college but also national trends in enrollment management. He would present and provide training to Campus Directors, Directors of Education, etc.
