ABOUT KNOWLEDGE FIRST

It is with pleasure that we introduce you to the Knowledge-First Career Institute. Knowledge-First Career Institute is a vocational institution committed to students as individuals, helping them with their individual needs and goals. Our programs are carefully designed to meet the industry and community demands. Our classes encompass the hands-on training you’ll receive from our experienced faculty in addition to the knowledge you need to succeed.

Because of this attention to both subject matter and more importantly, to the students themselves, our learners soon become self-directed in their thirst for knowledge. Furthermore, understanding that education not only addresses the intellectual capacities, we also develop character, healthy lifestyles, and proficiencies that lead to life-long resiliency.

  • Restore respect and dignity to those we serve,
  • Inspire, motivate, enhance and transform the lives of those we serve; and
  • Improve the economic well-being and quality of life of our communities' citizens.


ISSUES WE FACE

Joblessness, inability, illiteracy, disability, Impoverishment, family dysfunction, juvenile delinquency, incarceration are among the many barriers that render the larger population powerless to build themselves into healthy vibrant families, successful careers and small businesses.  Our mission is to build Human Self-Sufficiency by satisfying the core need of Health, Home and Humanistic Satisfaction.
