Isiah Reese, CEO of Aperion Global Institute, states, ‘The 21stcentury workforce requires the blending of innovation with creativity. At AGI we believe in delivering an integrated, multilingual, and flexible digital learning landscape that accommodates both a traditional student and non-traditional lifelong learner.
This partnership aligns with our mission of “Erasing the Digital Educational Divide”. I commend Michael Minor Ed, Chairman and Jeffrey Higgs, Executive Director at LOCCDC for granting us this opportunity and also having a profound committed vision for today’s future world.
Recent announcements of companies, like FedEx Logistics moving its HQ to the downtown market; double-digit growth in bio-medical jobs, and the vast number of hospitals and insurance providers in the market, make this the right time for this gift of education to Soulsville USA.
Many companies are looking to fill talent gaps from the front line to middle management even up to the C-Suite to remain competitive. Education is the key that unlocks those doors.

We see this opportunity to merge technology and residential energy into opportunities for economic empowerment and technology transfers to some of the most needed residents in Memphis and the world. This opportunity will bring the world to SoulsvilleUSA and provide sustained urban community economic development by those who live, work and play in this community. Empowerment, Engagement and Opportunity.
