 Exhibit 10.1 
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 This Employment Agreement (this
“Agreement”) is made effective as of JULY 5, 2013 (the “Effective Date”), by and between DaVita Healthcare Partners Inc. (“Employer”) and Garry E. Menzel (“Teammate”). 

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties
hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows: 
 Section 1. Employment and Duties. Employer and
Teammate expect that Teammate’s employment will commence on or about September 9, 2013. Teammate will serve initially in the position of Senior Vice President, Finance until the close of business on the first business day following the day
on which the Company files its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission, when Teammate will begin serving in the position of Chief Financial Officer. Employer
hereby employs Teammate to serve initially as the Senior Vice President, Finance and then subsequently as the Chief Financial Officer, as described above. Teammate accepts such employment on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
Teammate shall perform the duties of the Senior Vice President, Finance, the Chief Financial Officer or any additional or different duties or jobs as the Employer deems appropriate. Initially, Teammate shall work out of Denver, Colorado, although
the location is subject to change to suit business needs. Teammate agrees to devote substantially all of his time, energy, and ability to the business of Employer on a full-time basis and shall not engage in any other business activities during the
term of this Agreement, including but not limited to providing consulting services to any investment firm, such as a hedge fund, provided however, Teammate may pursue normal charitable activities so long as such activities do not
require a substantial amount of time and do not interfere with his ability to perform his duties. Teammate agrees that he shall not serve on the board of directors of any not- for-profit or for-profit company without the express written approval of
the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employer agrees that Teammate may continue to serve on the Board of the Epilepsy Foundation. Teammate shall at all times observe and abide by the Employer’s
policies and procedures as in effect from time to time. 
 Section 2. Compensation. In consideration of the services
to be performed by Teammate hereunder, Teammate shall receive the following compensation and benefits: 
 2.1 Base
Salary. Employer shall pay Teammate a base salary of $510,000 per annum, less standard withholdings and authorized deductions. Teammate shall be paid consistent with Employer’s payroll schedule. The base salary will be reviewed from time to
time. Employer, in its sole discretion, may increase the base salary as a result of any such review. Employer may not reduce Teammate’s base salary unless the Teammate authorizes it in writing or the Employer is reducing the base salary of
other similarly-situated executives by a similar percentage. 

 2.2 Benefits. Teammate and/or his family, as the case may be, shall be eligible for
participation in and shall receive all benefits under Employer’s health and welfare benefit plans (including, without limitation, medical, prescription, dental, disability, and life insurance) under the same terms and conditions applicable to
most executives at similar levels of compensation and responsibility. 
 2.3 Performance Bonus. 

(a) Teammate shall be eligible to receive a discretionary performance bonus (the “Bonus”) between zero and $510,000, payable
in a manner consistent with Employer’s practices and procedures. The amount of the Bonus, if any (including any amount in excess of $510,000), will be decided by the Chief Executive Officer and/or the Board of Directors or the Compensation
Committee of the Board in his/her/its sole discretion. 
 (b) In deciding on the amount of the Annual Performance Bonus, if
any, the Chief Executive Officer and/or the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee of the Board may consider the competitive market for the services provided by employees who are performing the same or similar duties as Teammate is
providing Employer and who have similar background and experience. 
 (c) Teammate must be employed by Employer (or an
affiliate) on the date any Bonus is paid to be eligible to receive such Bonus and, if Teammate is not employed by Employer (or an affiliate) on the date any Bonus is paid for any reason whatsoever, Teammate shall not be entitled to receive such
Bonus. 
 2.4 Signing Bonus. Employer shall pay Teammate a signing bonus in the amount of $15,000, less standard
withholdings and authorized deductions, within two pay periods of Teammate’s start date. 
 2.5 Relocation
Assistance. Employer shall provide Teammate with the relocation assistance. In consideration for DaVita’s agreement to pay these expenses (the “Relocation Costs”), Teammate agrees that if his employment is terminated (voluntarily
or involuntarily) within twenty-four (24) months from the start date, Teammate shall repay DaVita a pro-rated amount of the Relocation Costs. The calculation of the pro-rated amount will be as follows: (Amount of the Relocation Costs divided by
24) multiplied by (24 minus the number of months since the start date). 
 2.6 Vacation. Teammate shall have vacation,
subject to the approval of the Chief Executive Officer. 
 2.7 Stock Appreciation Rights. Employer shall issue a grant to
Teammate of stock-settled Stock Appreciation Rights (“SSARs”) on a base number of 60,000 shares of DaVita common stock, upon approval. This grant shall have a five-year term and vest 50% on the third and fourth anniversaries of the grant
date. The base price of the award shall be the closing price as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the start date of Teammate’s employment, or

the date the SSAR grant has been formally approved by the appropriate authorized body or Officer, whichever date is later. The terms of the SSAR grant will be reflected in a separate agreement to
be signed by Employer and Teammate. 
 2.8 Management Share Ownership Policy. Teammate shall review and understand the
terms of the Management Share Ownership Policy with respect to all equity-based awards. 
 2.9 Return of Compensation or
other Property Received in Connection with Director, Officer, Shareholder or Similar Position. All fees, compensation, other remuneration, dividends, distributions, or other property or financial benefit received by Teammate in connection with
Teammate’s position as a director, officer, member, shareholder, partner or any other similar position of any controlled or uncontrolled direct or indirect subsidiary or affiliate of Employer, or other contractual obligor to Employer or any of
its subsidiaries or affiliates the obligations of which constitute revenue to Employer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates and of which Teammate beneficially owns or has the right to acquire, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the equity
interests or has the power to vote 10% or more of the voting interests, shall belong to Employer and shall be immediately remitted to Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision shall not apply to any amounts payable to, earned by,
received by or otherwise due to Teammate as employment compensation from Employer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or any dividends or other distributions received by Teammate in Teammate’s capacity as a stockholder of Employer’s
ultimate parent company. 
 2.10 Indemnification. Employer agrees to indemnify Teammate against and in respect of any and
all claims, actions, or demands, to the extent permitted by the Employer’s By-laws and applicable law. 
 2.11
Reimbursement. Employer also agrees to reimburse Teammate in accordance with Employer’s reimbursement policies for travel and entertainment expenses, as well as other business-related expenses, incurred in the performance of his duties
hereunder. 
 2.12 Changes to Benefit Plans. Employer reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any and all
of its health and welfare benefit plans, practices, policies, and programs at any time without recourse by Teammate so long as such action is taken generally with respect to all other similarly-situated peer executives and does not single out
Teammate. 
 2.13 Possible Recoupment of Certain Compensation. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to
the contrary, Teammate shall be subject to the written policies of the Board of Directors applicable to executives of the Employer, including without limitation any Board policy relating to recoupment or “claw back” of compensation, as
they exist from time to time during the Teammate’s employment by the Employer and thereafter.

Teammate at any time and for any reason or no reason, subject to the notice requirements set forth below.

Other Termination. Employer may terminate the employment of Teammate for any reason or for no reason at any time upon at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice. If Employer terminates the employment of Teammate for reasons
other than for death, Material Cause, or Disability, and contingent upon Teammate’s execution of the Employer’s standard Severance and General Release Agreement within twenty-eight days of the termination of Teammate’s employment,
Teammate shall be entitled to the benefits set forth in the DaVita Healthcare Partners Inc. Severance Plan for Vice President level executives, pursuant to the terms and conditions of that plan as they exist at the time of the termination of
Teammate’s employment; however, in no case will the period of salary continuation provided to Teammate be less than twelve (12) months. For purposes of this provision, Teammate’s employment has been terminated when Teammate is no
longer providing services for Employer after a specific date or the level of bona fide services that Teammate would perform (as an employee or independent contractor) after a specific date would permanently decrease to no more than 20% of the
average level of bona fide services performed over the immediately preceding thirty-six month period (or the full period of service if Teammate was employed for less than thirty-six months).

written notice. If Teammate resigns from Employer, Teammate shall (i) be entitled to receive the base salary and benefits as set forth in Section 2.1 and Section 2.2, respectively, through the effective date of such
termination and (ii) not be entitled to receive any other compensation, benefits, or payments of any kind, except as otherwise required by law or by the terms of any benefit or retirement plan or other arrangement that would, by its terms,
apply. In the event Teammate resigns from Employer at any time, Employer shall have the right to make such resignation effective as of any date before the expiration of the required notice period. 

3.5 Good Cause Resignation After Change in Control. If Teammate resigns within sixty (60) days following a Good Cause event,
and no more than twelve (12) months after a Change in Control (as those terms are defined below), and contingent upon Teammate’s execution of Employer’s standard Severance and General Release Agreement within

twenty-eight (28) days of the termination of Teammate’s employment, Teammate shall (i) continue to receive the base salary and benefits as set forth in Section 2.1 and
Section 2.2, respectively, through the effect date of such termination, (ii) continue to receive his base salary, less standard withholdings and authorized deductions, for the eighteen (18)-month period following the termination of
his employment, subject to Employer’s payroll practices and procedures, (iii) receive a lump-sum payment equal to the Bonus paid in the year prior to the termination of Teammate’s employment, pro-rated for the number of months served

time Employer normally pays performance bonuses to other senior executives, and (iv) not be entitled to receive any other compensation, benefits, or payments of any kind, except as otherwise required by law or by the terms of any benefit or
retirement plan or other arrangement that would, by its terms apply. Any severance shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the DaVita Healthcare Partners Inc. Severance Plan as they exist at the time of Teammate’s termination. In
addition, any severance shall be conditioned on Teammate’s compliance with the Noncompetition, Nonsolicitation and Confidentiality Agreement that Teammate is executing pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement.

 [Address Redacted] 
 Dear Lysa, 
 Welcome to Career Education Corporation. I am pleased to extend an
offer to you for the position of Senior Vice President, Strategic Initiatives with Career Education Corporation, reporting directly to me. Your start date will be June 13, 2013 and your position will be based in Schaumburg, IL. This offer is
contingent upon successful completion of reference and background checks as per our standard protocol for senior officers as well as final approval by our Compensation Committee. The terms of our offer are as follows: 

 

	 	1.	The salary for the position will be $310,000.00 on an annualized basis. 

  

	 	2.	You will earn vacation at a rate of 20 days per year. 

  

	 	3.	You will be eligible to participate in the benefit programs available to our employees as soon as you meet the eligibility requirement of each plan. Eligibility begins
on the first day of the month following thirty days of employment for most of our benefits plans. You will receive information about the process for enrolling in these benefits, which must be completed within the first 30 days of employment.

  

	 	4.	You will be eligible to participate in the Annual Incentive Award Program (AlP) with a target opportunity of 50% of your eligible earnings for the year. Please note,
for 2013 the AlP is designed in such a way that the company must exceed established performance goals in order to receive a full target payout. You will be provided with a minimum guaranteed payout of $155,000.00 for 2013. To be eligible for this
bonus, you must be an employee through December 31st of each bonus year. 

  

	 	5.	You will receive a cash sign-on bonus of $ 50,000.00. This payment will be made within 30 days of your start date and is contingent upon a hire date of June 13th,
2013. You must pay taxes on the entire bonus amount. If you decide to leave Career Education Corporation of your own free will within your first year of employment, you will be required to reimburse Career Education Corporation the entire amount of
your signing bonus. 

  

	 	6.	You will receive a Long-term incentive grant equal in value to $155,000.00, subject to final approval by Career Education’s Compensation Committee. The grant would
consist of 75% of the value in cash settled Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) and 25% of the value in Stock Options, both with a four year ratable vesting (25% per year). In consideration of receiving these initial grants, and as a term and condition of
your employment with Career Education, you agree to be bound by a two year non­ compete agreement, the terms of which will be contained in the agreements granting the RSUs and Stock Options. This initial grant will be made as soon as feasible
following your start date and in compliance with regulations established by the Securities and Exchange Commission and Career Education Corporation’s policies (i.e., an award cannot be granted during a blackout period).

  

	 	7.	Beginning in 2014, you will be eligible to participate in the Long-Term Incentive Award Program (LTIP) with a target opportunity of 100% of your base salary. LTIP
awards are made annually, typically during the first quarter. Participation in the LTIP and awards amounts granted thereunder are subject to approval annually by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. 

 

	 	8.	As a senior officer of the company, you will be subject to the Company’s Officer Stock Ownership Guidelines which require that you achieve and maintain a certain
level of stock ownership (expressed as a multiple of your base salary). We believe the guidelines help align the interests of the senior officer team with those of the Company’s stockholders. 

 

	 	9.	You are eligible for our Tier A relocation package. Please see the relocation policy documents for further details. All terms, agreements and restrictions apply to the
Company Relocation Policy as administered under our vendor. If you decide to leave Career Education Corporation of your own free will or based upon termination due to misconduct before one year of employment from your start date, you will be
required to reimburse Career Education Corporation the entire amount of your relocation cost. 

  

	 	10.	This letter contains all agreements, and supersedes all other agreements, verbal and written, pertaining to your employment with Career Education Corporation.
Employment at Career Education Corporation is at-will and may be terminated at the will of either you or Career Education Corporation. 

 Lysa, I am excited to have you join Career Education Corporation, and look forward to your contributions to our team and to our students.
