Project
AHEAD’s Mission
Project AHEAD
provides necessary tools/resources to help participants become self-
sufficient. The program removes obstacles that seemingly prevent
them from succeeding in a variety of life settings. Along with
enrollment in one of Chattanooga State’s many technical or credited
programs, participants of Project AHEAD receive hands on training to
enhance workplace skills, thus allowing them to attain personal
goals and to earn a more sustainable income.
We want to
empower individuals by providing a transitional support system while
challenging them to grow and meet their personal and professional
goals.
