Raising Phoenix Temple University points to resources
WESLEY CHAPEL – Raising Phoenix Temple University held a free public workshop Sept. 16 at SMARTstart – The Grove at Wesley Chapel to help residents secure tuition support for doula certification and other vocational training programs.
“People with a calling to serve as birthworkers or community wellness professionals often assume education is out of reach,” said Sheree D. Williams, principal chief and founding mother of RPTU. “Our goal is to show them that practical funding paths exist and how to use them.”
RPTU is recognized by the Florida Department of Education’s Commission of Independent Education and accredited by the International Metaphysical Practitioners Association.
The university offers live, online, and on-demand programs designed to provide flexibility for modern learners.
Both RPTU and Williams are active members of SMARTstart, Pasco County’s entrepreneur and business incubator program, furthering their commitment to local economic development and community education.
