Giving Thanks for the Job Enterprise Program Business Leaders

JEP-600x432At Pro-Vision Academy education doesn’t stop when the final bell rings. Our Houston charter school is designed to prepare students for higher education and success in the workforce by providing them with opportunities to gain real world, hands-on experience. That is exactly what students gain when they participate in the Job Enterprise Academy.

This rewarding program partners students with business leaders in the community. Students must first complete the Manhood Development Program and then compete for a spot in the coveted Job Enterprise Academy. Once students have shown that they possess the qualities for success in the program, they are then eligible for a summer internship where they will learn essential job skills, receive value training, get mentorship from business leaders and gain confidence that prepares them for a professional career in the global economy.

We are so fortunate to have local companies and professionals that are willing to give their time and expertise to the Job Enterprise Academy. Without them this program just wouldn’t be possible. We would like to acknowledge and thank all of the business leaders that helped make the Pro-Vision Summer 2014 Job Enterprise program such a success.Watch Full Movie Online Streaming Online and Download

This summer students and volunteers also got outdoors and worked in the Pro-Vision Urban Farm to gain hands-on experience. The Urban Farm workers learned about horticulture and also worked in the greenhouse, planting seasonal foods that were specifically grown for the local upscale restaurants and chefs. This year’s Urban Farm student participants were:

  • Chris Brown
  • Taylor Mamou
  • Jaylon Hall
  • Tyson Green
  • Darius Henry
  • Darius House

Without the help of business leaders and volunteers our students wouldn’t be able to take advantage of these two programs. This holiday season, as we gather with family and friends to give thanks, our hearts and minds are with all those that have selflessly given their time to help Pro-Vision students work towards a brighter future.
