Our Penn Veterans Upward Bound students need your help as they prepare for college. With a small commitment of time, you can make a big difference in the life of a college-bound Veterans Upward Bound student by helping the student better understand the types of courses, preparation and training needed for a successful career in your field of endeavor.
Penn’s nationally renowned Veterans Upward Bound program has expanded the scope of its traditional college preparation services and classes to include a new element called “VET 4 Careers.” VET 4 Careers will provide opportunities for our college-bound Veterans Upward Bound students to connect with Penn faculty and staff in one-on-one or small group meetings to learn about different careers—what a particular job involves and what education and training is needed to successfully pursue such a career option.
VET 4 Careers offers two exciting options:
- A rewarding one-on-one meeting with a student for an in-depth discussion about your career choice, the education and background needed for such an career, and how the student might pursue a similar career
- Be part of a group presentation to our Veterans Upward Bound students where the presenters’ different careers are discussed, and students have an opportunity to learn about the training and education needed for a variety of different careers
In addition, Veterans Upward Bound will be launching “Vet 4 Leadership” and will be holding a speaker’s event where one or two speakers will discuss their professional experiences, and the meaning of leadership and success.
If you can give an hour or two of your time to either one of these rewarding programs, contact: me at (215) 898-6892 or Sandefur@exchange.upenn.eduFor more information about the Veterans Upward Bound program, visit the website: www.vpul.upenn.edu/aap/vub/
