Our Mission:
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.
Provide local businesses with the very best skilled laborers possible
American vocational Academy also takes great pride in striving to provide businesses with the very best skilled laborers possible. We continually aspires to support and assist 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.
