Build business, build community

Dr Neva Alexander, founder of the New York-based National Educational Venture Alliance, believes many people leave high school and university with a host of skills they can utilise to create not just employment for themselves, but for others as well. With this in mind, she returned to Jamaica less than one year ago and started her own SAT, GRE, GMAT and LSAT training centre at Ardenne Road in Kingston.

Having hosted a free SAT information session and four free SAT mock exams over the summer, Dr Alexander began her first SAT class in July and is now recruiting both students and instructors for her November intake.

She is seeking to employ part-time SAT math and English instructors who would be able to assist with teaching her growing SAT classes. She is also seeking a student adviser to guide students through the college admissions process and assist with sourcing financial aid, and an admissions representative to assist with recruiting students.

“This is more than just a job for me,” said the adjunct assistant professor at the City of New York University. “In some small way, I have always wanted to give back and make my small mark in this country. It finally hit me that instead of looking for a job even for myself, I should start my own business so I can generate employment and give others the opportunity to be gainfully employed.”
