Welcome

The Empowerment Training Institute strives to provide a professional environment to promote and encourage each and every student to achieve his or her highest potential, which in turn creates a sense of responsibility and pride for those individuals enrolled in our programs.

We prepare students with the practical and technical skills required by employers within their local communities, and empower each student to be independent thinkers and effective communicators for their own personal growth and success.

Admission into a program of study with The Empowerment Training Institute is determined through an online or in person interview process at our facility or through one of our affiliate outreach programs that supports our mission and goals, this interview will be done on a “Non Discriminatory” basis for every individual entering our program. The interview process will be done on a one on one basis given that assessments will be done for every student.

The Empowerment Training Institute is looking to admit students into our educational programs who demonstrate a positive attitude and a genuine desire to learn and develop themselves into the person that they want to become. The Empowerment Training Institute's staff and trainers promote education for lifelong learners and development.

Students may register for our courses at any time. New programs generally begin on a quarterly and semi-quarterly basis. Students should register far enough in advance to allow time for class reservations and scheduling. Shortly after registration an applicant is notified of final acceptance or any additional conditions necessary for admission. 

The Empowerment Training Institute reserves the right to cancel, change, or post-pone classes as required.

Program offerings detailed within our catalog are subject to change due to market influences. In special situations, the Program Manager may recommend when an exception to the policy can be offered to current students.

The United States offers an abundance of cultural and recreational activities, special programs and field trips that may be arranged to meet a student’s intellectual needs and student interest.

The Empowerment Training Institute will also have a Learning Resource Center (LRC) that provides research support and other support services to our students. Its goal is to provide students with the resources and services that best support students learning and the achievement of learning outcomes. The (LRC) will have a collection of study materials that can be checked out by the students to enhance their learning abilities. Students will have access to various online resources for their research as well. The Program Manager will make staff available to advise and assist students with their request.

The Empowerment Training Institute will strive to help all students achieve their goals in whatever way possible, we will try to schedule field trips to several local and international companies, museums and other learning facilities to expose our student to their knowledge and the real world opportunities that may be available, as this will help to shape a students understanding about real world experiences.

School rules and policies are provided during the admissions process and posted around the facility. Students are provided with a pamphlet which explains our business culture, processes and policies available to all students. Special emphasis is placed on academic progress, regular attendance, professional conduct, personal appearance, timely completion of projects, and consideration of others.
