OUR STORY
Hi, can you see my future? I can! Our story is one that I look forward to sharing with you and others nationwide. Before I go back to my office (actually the classroom with my friends), please allow me to give you some insight about AchieveAhead, a company were our name is also our mission.
Dr. Jeffery Ryans, founder, realizes the importance of early stimulation and exposure for young students. He believes “vision” is the number one reason why some students excel moreso than others. Helen Keller, an author, lecturer, and political activist was the first deaf-blind student to receive a college degree. She was asked, What could be worse than being blind? She responded: “To have sight but no vision.”
Dr. Ryans brings a wealth of experience to help students in their academic and career development. As a former educator and administrator for the University of Georgia, the University of Tennessee and Cleveland State Community College, he served in various capacities assisting students with their program areas. He earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration, a master’s degree in education, and a doctoral degree in business administration. He is a member of Sigma Beta Delta International Honor Society, having graduated with a 3.95 GPA. Dr. Ryans also serves as a member of a university business advisory board located in Atlanta, Georgia.
OUR TEAM
Our team is composed of professionals whose collaborative efforts and expertise foster the cognitive and social development of students. Students also serve as an integral part of our team concept. Their roles are critical to the development of our products and services that have an immediate impact on student development. No one person has all the necessary specialized knowledge and skills to meet your child’s unique needs. For this reason, the concept of the “team” is fundamental when it comes to promoting your child’s growth, development, and learning.
PURPOSE
Students today are living in a world of rapid change. Yesterday’s skills are no longer enough for today’s opportunities. Now, more than ever before, career orientation needs to be a priority in our educational curriculum. Sure we hear about schools having “career day”. Unfortunately, one day, or even one week is not enough to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed for a lifetime of decisions.
Young people everywhere need to develop a greater breadth of skills to evaluate and apply knowledge in ways that meet the new demands of our changing social and economic landscape. Our purpose is to help students make informed decisions as they explore career opportunities, choose a college major, or make the transition from school to work.
PRE-K
Many experts embrace what is called the the developmental approach, which proposes that career education should begin as early as kindergarten on a very general level, and gradually become more focused and specific for older kids.
ELEMENTARY
Today, students have great opportunities to help them figure out the answer to the big question asked over and over again: What do you want to be when you grow up? Career days can help students as young as elementary school age to start thinking more in-depth about what they want to do as adults. Our products help them get there!
MIDDLE SCHOOL
The middle grades are a crucial time to engage, or reengage, students and put them on a path to college and career success. Research has demonstrated that grades, attendance, and participation in middle school are strong predictors of high school graduation and post secondary success.
HIGH SCHOOL
Testimonial: “Had I known what majors and careers were available when I was still in high school or better yet, even before high school, I may have had a more direct and straightforward college experience. I also would’ve had more time to discover my passions and interests prior to beginning my undergrad and declaring a major.”
COLLEGE
The majority of students in all colleges and universities change their major at least once; and many change their major several times throughout their college career. Why is this a common theme which cost you more time and money? We can help before or even after you get on campus.
BEYOND
Graduation is something to cheer about and as you celebrate all of your accomplishments! What’s next? For many students, the uncertainty of their future becomes a reality. Our goal is to help you before you feel overwhelmed about the decisions you are now faced with. Let’s talk now!
