May guess is they resume classes after Summer after they’ve taken their moment to “evaluate” (a week maybe) 2026 staffing. One thing is certain, there is zero chance there are no classes until Q3 2026.
I don't think that is what they are telling new hires, I think they are telling a person who gets a CJO right now that they won't see a class until Q3 2026. My guess is since we've continued to interview all this year that there is a pretty large pool, so people interviewing today may not see a class until later 2026. It wouldn't surprise me if we've got 500+ in the CJO pool. If we don't run any more classes this year then fall 2026 for someone interviewing today isn't terribly unreasonable. If we do hire more this year then today's CJO's will probably end up in class next spring.
