The legendary Zig Ziglar said, "To get what you want, help enough other people get what THEY want first."

At EHMA, we change lives, providing opportunities and a "pep in their step," knowing they have resume highlights.

We're taking others where they would not have gone by themselves. 3700 EHMA students earned 10,000 certifications since 2003!

IF YOU HAVE ATTENDED ONE OF OUR SYMPOSIUMS PLEASE COMPLETE A 9 QUESTION SURVEY AND HELP ME FIGURE OUT THE FUTURE.  DO ME THAT FAVOR PLEASE.

Contact Ed to set up a class at your location.  Or do them online.  Most are using their Post 9/11 GI Bill to pay for the certifications.

Veteran's Support Network 501(c)(3) provides funding for Vets with Issues  including but not limited to homelessness - they've fallen down the "rabbit hole" and it is hard to climb out without some new tools (a resume with new certifications) and confidence.  Others help find them jobs, but don't give them new knowledge and tools to get them GOOD jobs, so we work with those other organizations for a total new start for these great Americans.

Here are students who just graduated from their class at Veteran's Village, nice lunch at the Golden Nugget - let me ask you, do they LOOK like homeless people now?  No, they are revitalized and ready to roll!!!

Providing a fishing pole for life, instead of a fish for a meal. 
We're changing lives, 1 vet at a time.

Dr. Johnson speaks on Validating GFI Certifications
Providing certifications from the Global Foodservice Institute, with HQ at the State University of New York at Morrisville and UNLV in Las Vegas.  GFI certifications work no matter your rank, or your current job in the military.  You might be in avionics in the military, but seek a foodservice career in civilian life.  Our students are like rainbows, they come in all colors, sizes but have a similar desire, to better their chances at success.  

Dr. Joan Johnson, GFI at SUNY Morrisville Executive Director, was instrumental in building the certification exams, and she answers questions about certification reviews, how much can you learn in a day, what employers can expect, which ones value certifications, etc.  May help you decide for YOURSELF what your available and then best options are to build your career.  Everyone is entitled to an opinion, here are our well informed facts and opinions.  Click here
