We find ourselves as a service provider; in a area often overwhelmed with daunting conditions, incorporating a service delivery approach that must first and foremost address critical needs while attempting to engage public policy makers in the process of economic and social transformation of our community.

Over the last decade, the inner city community leaders have expressed discontentment with the media' stereotyping exploitation of the inner city diverse culture and it's disadvantaged quality lifestyle; being produced in a very negative profile in the intertainment industry; as well as products being exhibited and marketed. The industry has also exhibited a lack of concern for those of minority applicants for employment as well. It has also been uncovered that the industry see's no great profit in producing films, television programs, or product that potrays or identify the nature of inner city multi-cultural minorities; be it with a positive quality of life; or any other form of positive accomplishments and good deeds. It is through our E.I.T.T. Centre's training,   principals and values of life that we intent to address those issues and other concerns that may hold achor on our young americans lives and prosperity.

The E.I.T.T. Centre is designed and dedicated to bridge the gap of opportunity by identifing, developing, and supporting creative individuals and preparing them for the industry. Presenting the industry with quality products and qualified professional applicants of wholesomeness and excellence. The E.I.T.T. Centre will provide multimedia technology, pre-apprentice training, and performing Arts workshops; giving incentives to those residences with low and no income in the inner city communities.
