Our Mission Statement
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. - Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
Our mission at American Vocational Academy is to develop a quality, skilled workforce to meet the growing demands of the trades industry. We believe that in doing so we are helping to build this Great Nation’s hope and future one class, one student at a time.
Equip each student with trade knowledge to achieve success
Our focus is first and foremost toward the success of each individual student. Our goal and passion is to equip them with the right tools, trade knowledge and life skills

needed to ultimately achieve a bright, promising career and future for themselves and for their families. As each student builds upon their future, they in turn build upon ours as a community and nation. In contrast, we believe that if we neglect to assist them in successfully navigating their futures we become in peril of our own future both now and for the generations that follow.

local contractors in attaining a highly skilled and trained workforce, thus minimizing the cost of labor and man hours spent in training unskilled or school instructed students who’s primary knowledge is from “books only ” but have very little or no” hands on “or field experience. Employers in turn are able to focus on growing a thriving, profitable, and successful business in service to their communities.

Empower and equip a professional and skilled American workforce
We believe these to be our core values , and it is with great pleasure that we serve each student, contractor, community, and ultimately our country and our nation.

We are honored to be a part of the process of empowering and equipping a professional and skilled workforce. We do not take our assignment for granted or our responsibilities lightly. May God bless all of us who put our hands and hearts to this great and noble task and may he truly bless these United States of America.

A True “Hands On” Approach To Career Training
The success of our training is largely contingent to our students ability to participate in “Hands on” training and development. This is where American Vocational Academy thrives.
From system diagnostics and HVAC system troubleshooting, to component replacements such as blower motors, evaporator and condenser coils, and compressors, to basic preventive maintenance performance, these students are exposed to it all many times over both in the classroom and in the field.
The future really is yours for the taking!
College can be an expensive waste of money and time, learn a skilled trade instead! We take great pleasure to serve in the growth and development of our work force and of this incredible trades industry.

Job Placement
Is your company challenged with being able to hire and keep reliable technicians long term? At AVA we just might have a solution for that. Most students upon completion of their course at AVA will have a balance that they are paying towards the cost of their training. This balance is typically being paid off on a monthly basis for less that $100 per month over a two or three year term. By offering to pay off the remaining balance of their student loan you are not only assisting them with their education but also locking them into your company for a longer duration. If they quit or move on then you are no longer liable to continue with this company investment. It’s just that simple. For many companies this would be an incentive paid in lieu of a hiring or sign on bonus. To find out more information about how you can participate in this job placement please contact us.
AVA Affiliation Agreement
AVA also implements an Affiliation Agreement with participating local contractors. Students will be exposed to the day today operations of local businesses by riding along with seasoned professional technicians. This has proven to be a great opportunity for both the student and the contractor. The student is exposed to several different potential places of employment and the contractor is able to access the skill level and employability of the student. This is definitely a win – win scenario for everyone participating.
