VJS Academy launched in 2021 as an entity but has been serving leaders, educators, and professionals on the National stage for decades through the highly sought-after work of Vernon J. Shazier, our esteemed founder. After years of successfully helping individuals and companies raise the bar and achieve organizational excellence, Vernon Shazier envisioned a virtual academy where his skillset and approach could be accessed globally through virtual instruction and courses.
