NEW YORK, July 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Training The
Street (TTS), the leading corporate training provider for Wall
Street firms and top business schools, today announced its
partnership with Venture for America (VFA), a non-profit
organization that encourages entrepreneurship amongst college
graduates to aid struggling cities across the U.S. This year's full
incoming class of 122 VFA fellows will participate in a live TTS
financial training seminar, which will include financial modeling,
technical skills, and proficiency in Excel. In addition, TTS will
offer continuing development training to all of the 200-plus past
VFA fellows and provide access to online self-study courses, all on
a pro bono basis. The live course will be held at Brown University on July
6.
The partnership between TTS and VFA fuses the expertise of both
organizations. TTS will provide the same industry-leading financial
training program used by top Wall Street banks and MBA programs to
help VFA fellows launch their careers and businesses. This will
assist VFA in fulfilling its mission of creating opportunities for
college graduates and aspiring entrepreneurs to work at startups
across the country while they help struggling local economies.
The full day course for the VFA fellows will mirror TTS's
Applied Excel course, which teaches students how to utilize the
program's sophisticated functions and analyze data, amongst other
skills. TTS will also provide digital self-study materials to
current and past VFA fellows, including financial statement
analysis & accounting, and corporate and merger valuation.
"I strongly believe in Venture for America's mission of training
the future generation of business leaders. As an educator and as an
entrepreneur I am extremely enthusiastic about Training The
Street's partnership with this outstanding organization," said
Scott Rostan, Founder and CEO of
Training The Street. "The combination of business education from
VFA and financial training from TTS will help these promising
graduates become successful business owners and tremendous assets
to our society."
"Venture for America's partnership with Training The Street is a
natural fit. Their expertise fills a niche within our training
program and provides our fellows with even more essential tools to
set out and advance their own careers while furthering job creation
in this country," said Andrew Yang,
Founder and CEO of VFA.
