Altierus Supports Community Health Research

In late June, Altierus Norcross partnered with the Hispanic Health Coalition of GA and the National Alliance for Hispanic Health to host an All of Us Research Program event.

The mission of the Program is to accelerate health research and medical breakthroughs, enabling individualized prevention, treatment, and care. This is done through engaging with the community and offering health screenings in cities across the country. More info on their work can be found here: https://www.joinallofus.org/en

The GO! Program Makes a Powerful Impact In Our Communities

Each year, Altierus Career College partners with our affiliate, the ECMC Foundation, to award financial grants to community organizations that help make a tangible difference in people’s lives. For 2018, the Foundation has committed $1.39 million to 92 education-related organizations across 19 states. Recipients include Girls Empowered Mentally for Success in Tampa and The Learning Collection Foundation Corp in Atlanta.

At our Houston campus in late June, grant recipients included the Children’s Museum of Houston, Horizon Outreach, and The Forge For Families. These groups and more were awarded checks by ECMC faculty and staff.

Altierus Participates in Education Symposium

Houston’s Annual Education Symposium was created to establish a bridge between industry and education and to help create a workforce to meet local needs. This Spring, the Symposium welcomed leaders from Altierus Houston Bissonnet to participate: Michael Guillory, Director of Enrollment, and Delilah Olivares, Director of Career Services.

Guillory and Olivares attended seminars and met with area high school principals, teachers, and counselors. They also spoke with influential industry leaders and communicated Altierus’ mission of providing students with short-term training in a variety of in-demand fields. Their participation also included meeting with Texas state senator Sylvia Garcia.

Giving Back Through Equipment Donation

As part of Altierus Tampa’s ongoing program, 25 laptops were recently donated to ReDefiners World Languages, an organization dedicated to creating equity and access to world languages for elementary school students, with an emphasis on at-risk youth.

Altierus is proud to work with non-profits that are making a difference in people’s lives through outreach and education. Additional groups that are scheduled to receive laptops this Summer include: Girls Empowered Mentally for Success, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Tampa Bay, Computer Mentors, and more.

Altierus Supports Red Cross Disaster Relief Efforts

It was an honor to present our friends at the American Red Cross of Central Florida with a check for $138,300 to help continue the disaster relief efforts from last fall’s Hurricane Irma. The funds were raised by Altierus, ECMC Group and its employees. “Our employees care deeply about the areas in which they live and work,” said Jacob Kassuba, Executive Director at Zenith Education Group, which provides oversight to Altierus Career College. “In addition to donating funds to help their fellow employees, we are proud to provide a significant donation to help with the rebuilding efforts.”
