|
Posted By: Hija Chang on May 04, 2016 Voorhees College recently received a $50,000 planning grant from UNCF (United Negro College Fund) to establish the Talent Improvement Program (TIP) to prepare students to transition into their chosen career. “Voorhees is constantly seeking opportunities to better prepare our students to be successful in their careers,” said Sonia King Gass, vice president for institutional advancement. “So, we are elated with the opportunity that this planning grant will provide” In October 2015, Lilly Endowment Inc. committed $50 million to launch the UNCF® Career Pathways Initiative (CPI) to improve the job placement outcomes of graduates from historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and predominately black institutions (PBIs). Institutions will employ various strategies to achieve this goal, including aligning curricula with local and national workforce needs, developing intentional career pathway options for students across their collegiate experience, and strengthening their career service operations. Voorhees College is among 30 selected institutions to receive the UNCF CPI planning grant. More: https://www.voorhees.edu/news/voorhees-rec...
