About CTJS Academy
CTJS Academy is not a standard lecture hall or a casual weekend seminar series. We are an elite, faith-integrated vocational trade ecosystem designed to bridge the deep operational and economic fractures facing modern families. Founded by a dedicated single mother and Master of Social Work (MSW), CTJS Academy was birthed out of a profound understanding of the care deserts, structural gaps, and support needs hidden inside the home.
Operating under specialized state career-enrichment parameters, our institution strips away the fluff of traditional degree pathways to deliver raw, high-yield professional credentials. We train single mothers, community advocates, and kingdom-minded entrepreneurs to step into the marketplace as highly paid, clinical-grade experts. Anchored in Dawson, Georgia, we are building an unshakeable village of professionals equipped to protect maternal legacies, secure institutional respect, and build independent corporate entities that generate true multi-generational wealth.
Meet the Founder
Shaniqua Powell, MSW, is a dedicated single mother, a Master of Social Work, and the visionary founder of CTJS Academy. Her profound journey of faith and purpose was forged in 2018; following the devastating loss of her mother, Shaniqua encountered the living God, receiving a divine assignment to secure her social work degree and build a village for families in crisis. As an experienced compliance specialist, Shaniqua possesses an elite mastery of regulatory frameworks, ensuring every business model she touches is engineered for maximum operational success, structural protection, and longevity. Today, she operates a successful corporate holding company, manages a full-scale multi-state trade ecosystem, and provides clinical counseling part-time at an exclusive private therapy practice. Shaniqua designed CTJS Academy to serve as the ultimate marketplace incubator—merging clinical-grade precision with prophetic authority to equip ambitious caretakers to step out of survival and step into full corporate governance, institutional respect, and multi-generational wealth.
Why CTJS Academy
Choosing CTJS Academy means stepping into an elite elite class of professional advancement that standard programs simply cannot duplicate. We have completely eliminated the operational friction of traditional training tracks by replacing chaotic hospital scheduling politics and security liabilities with our advanced, high-fidelity virtual diagnostic laboratory. Led directly by a Registered Nurse (RN) and validated by an advisory OBGYN, our scholars master complex, multi-angle live-birth video analysis, lactation physics, and acute crisis triage right from their private command consoles. This medical-grade precision is meticulously engineered to be 100% audit-proof, satisfying the rigorous administrative standards of the Georgia Department of Community Health (DCH). Our graduates don't just exit with a certificate; they exit with an unshakeable understanding of HIPAA compliance, professional charting, and intake governance, leaving them fully equipped to secure their NPI numbers, clear state registries, and bill Medicaid systems with total corporate authority.
What truly sets this academy apart is our uncompromised commitment to your post-graduation dominion and spiritual alignment. We do not abandon our scholars at the finish line; instead, our curriculum features an immediate revenue pipeline where top-tier graduates are fast-tracked for contract placement inside our startup agency, River of Life Birth Services, to receive active client leads across Georgia and Florida from Day 1. Furthermore, we recognize that true marketplace success requires spiritual order. Every module utilizes our proprietary P.R.A.Y. Framework™ to merge clinical excellence with deep scriptural authority, training you to walk into rooms not as a passive observer, but as a stabilizing climate-shifter who calms chaos. From our hands-on $150 Mogul Add-On business acceleration booster that builds your LLC from scratch, to our annual alumni membership circle for continuing education, CTJS Academy provides the ultimate sovereign infrastructure to turn your calling into an empire of multi-generational wealth.
