Elevated Training Academy is an innovative leadership and life skills program designed specifically for high school students (ages 16+). This program equips students with essential certifications, teaches them how to lead classes, and provides real-life business and financial experience — all while getting paid to teach others.

Many teens take on babysitting as a first job. However, turning babysitting into a real business goes beyond just watching kids - it means creating a brand, building trust, and managing your time and money. Our program will enable teens to turn casual babysitting into a real business and learn business skills to carry into adulthood.
