Utilize your college's career planning resources, including its career planning center, career counselors, alumni network, local alumni clubs, professors, staff and other resources. Utilize these extensively, they really do owe it to you. Let us know which colleges are helpful, and if any need encouragement.<br /><br />* Veterans Career Transition Program" (VCTP) at Syracuse University.

(The more you can tell ACP about your goals, the more relevant a mentor ACP can provide. Perhaps the most highly funded and highly staffed mentoring program around in terms of budget and staff numbers. ) http://acp-usa.org/Mentoring_Program<br /><br />* GallantFew's "Veteran-to-Veteran" mentoring program. http://www.gallantfew.org/<br /><br />* eMentorProgram: A nationwide self-service "browse and select" "assigned" Veteran mentoring program. http://ementorprogram.org/about<br /><br />* Medical Technology Veterans mentoring portal and program for Veterans.

Some have extensive budgets, others are 100% volunteer. (All except the "Veteran Mentor Network" are for U.S. Veterans and /or spouses of U.S. Veterans. Many of these groups are also open to non-Veterans who want to constructively advise, coach and mentor Veterans.)<br />############<br />Moses S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12302028184748923446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624095197298767853.post-66326715071809207122013-11-25T14:09:05.475-06:002013-11-25T14:09:05.475-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Moses S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12302028184748923446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624095197298767853.post-36141603332108482962013-11-25T14:08:28.723-06:002013-11-25T14:08:28.723-06:00Jay,
