Tell me and I'll forget.
Show me and I'll remember.
Involve me and I'll understand.

Give a man a fish and feed him for a day.

Teach a man to fish, and feed him as long as the fish supply holds out.

But create a collective (Team ) and every man will learn to feed himself for a lifetime. (A new culture of

learning )

Project Academy is developing solutions that provide missing life-skill in College & Career training and pre-employment training program in our community for young adults. These skills are necessary for the student to interface with societal, educational, and business organizations.

Uniqueness of our approach: foster Mind-set thinking in the team.

Owners mindset thinking:

Students are shown how to be an owner of their own business; what’s involved with their customers, suppliers and staff. Thinking like an owner allows you to interface and understand your boss/teacher and constantly improving your skills. A connection is made between ownership and creating a learning organization.

Activities around the process that cover all the details to make it successful. Its assuring that all the team are aware of items, plans are created, deliverables are met, problems solved, and the customer is informed. An analytical approach is taken and leadership / management is exercised.
