No Degree? An express lane for tech job certification is coming to Memphis
Memphis is one of 20 communities nationwide who will benefit from TechHire, a new initiative initiative designed to connect employees and employers.
Summer Avenue/Berclair
The Berclair area is a working class neighborhood with cozy homes and quiet streets. Its main drag, Summer Avenue, was once known as the “Highway of America” and over the years has been home to the world’s first Holiday Inn and Super D Drugstore as well as Memphis’ first McDonald’s. In the 1960s Summer Avenue was the antique mecca of Memphis, and today, it is a popular destination for thrift store shopping. Berclair is also home to Grahamwood Elementary, one of the city’s top primary schools.
Socially minded entrepreneurs help students excel
Memphis has been noted for its above-average charity; we are a city willing to give. That generosity is bleeding over into local start-ups, where entrepreneurs increasingly want to make money and do good at the same time.
