WHY WAS THE ACADEMY ESTABLISHED?

The Sierra Group Academy exists in order to assist people who have never worked
before in making the first step toward a career.  And,  we are also available to
help people who have recently become disabled or have only done entry-level work
to build their skills and re-enter the workforce.

Assistive Technology lies at the heart of this training program using highly
customized accommodations. The Sierra Group Academy provides core business
training needed for success.


A MESSAGE FROM THE TEAM

Knowledge Matters…
I work with The Sierra Group Academy because of the organization’s dedication to
improving the quality of life for people with disabilities, through employment.

A call to action was needed, given the unemployment rate for People with
Disabilities was over 75% – often due to exclusion from fully accessible
academic and workplace training. Interestingly enough, local companies searching
for employees are eager to hire skilled, reliable workers, including those with
disabilities.

The Academy welcomes all individuals who fully desire to gain knowledge and
computer skills to participate in today’s world of automation and technology.
Embracing these concepts and aspirations, The Sierra Group Academy (The Academy)
was born and has now seen its transformation to ONLINE education for job seekers
far and wide! Our program offers everything from courses in computer literacy to
finely tuned business communications skills, along with updating one’s reading,
writing, and math skills to compete in today’s technology-driven HYBRID/Remote
models. 

Students at The Sierra Group Academy gain workplace literacy, employment
readiness, and the chance to master and enjoy technology, which abounds in
everyday life.

With all life experiences, growth involves continuous learning events combined
with strong determination. There are perceptions in this world that can lead us
to believe that there are limits to what we can accomplish. The Academy can
change students’ paradigm through training, guidance, and challenge to build on
each person’s unique and transferable skills. Having this knowledge offers an
array of sound career prospects and skills to re-enter the world of work and
live with heightened independence in the community.

If you want to do better tomorrow, you must start doing better today. If you are
ready, The Academy is the vehicle upon this solid ground to start your journey.
We are dedicated to our goals and students, and offer support as you pursue your
potential.

“Settle for more and more is what you shall have!”
