"AYES
Youth In Business" Skills Training Program is a
non-profit school-to-work initiative
created and taught by Tekelia C. Kelly, SIB
Founder/Owner and Adjunct Faculty Member
at Chattanooga State Technical Community College.
The
AYES Youth In Business Skills Training Certificate
Program
will offer its “Success Skills Toolkit for Teens”
class this Fall, October 4-25, on Saturdays from 8:30
am to 12:00 pm at Chattanooga State Technical
Community College. Cost of the class is $150.00.
Founder and owner of Sisters In Business.Net and For
Your Information Tekelia Kelly is the instructional
designer and creator of the program. As a Chattanooga
State business and information systems technology
adjunct instructor, Ms. Kelly will also instruct
students in the AYES Youth In Business program.
The AYES
Youth In Business Skills Training Certificate Program
is an innovative, 21st century
school-to-work initiative offering work-age teens the
opportunity to develop a success skills toolkit that
includes business technology training, networking,
marketing, mentoring, a skills portfolio, job bank,
Chattanooga State certificate, and earning of one CEU
credit. The class is excellent support for High
School Senior Projects.
Within the
framework of a theme-based high school senior project
simulation, students in the AYES “Success Skills
Toolkit for Teens” class will strengthen their
reading, writing, research, and other academic skills,
while applying hands-on keyboarding skills and
business industry standard work-tools such as Word,
Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, Outlook, Email, and the
Internet. Learners will create products such as a
budget worksheets, letters, resumes, surveys, reports,
bibliographies, desktop publications, presentations,
contacts/address lists, and more! Students will then
store their products on a USB flash drive to take with
them after class, making for a portable portfolio that
can “go and grow” with them as they navigate their
life, education, and career paths.
The AYES
Youth In Business program is set up to interface with
“youth friendly” businesses in the community and the
Sisters In Business Network who are able to “hire and
inspire” youth through their businesses. Businesses
are asked to offer youth paying positions as interns,
part-time, full-time, summer, or temporary employees.
Volunteer positions are also welcome as they, too, can
offer valuable work experience which youth can show on
their resumes.
The
purpose of AYES Youth In Business program is to
empower the socio-economic development of youth, and
offer Alternative Youth Economic Solutions to
youth seeking and needing sustainable income. Whether
youth are going to school, work, college, or into
business for themselves, the goal is to make youth
more marketable, useful, qualified, competitive, and
able to land better paying jobs sooner.
Though
presently offered at Chattanooga State campuses, the
AYES program is portable and available to any youth
group and organization in the community. Workshops,
Computer-based Training CD-ROM, Online Learning, and
1-on-1 Coaching are also ways in which the program can
be delivered.

In Business is a 501(c)(3) Not-for-Profit program
