Welcome Home Veterans Event!  On Wednesday, September 12, 2012, Yavapai College, Prescott Campus will host a Veterans Resource Fair from 12:00 – 5:00 pm at the Library circle.  The purpose will be to provide veterans, spouses, dependents, students, faculty, staff, and local community members an opportunity to learn about information and resources available to veterans and their families at Yavapai College and within the community.  Anticipated are resource tables to include: Veterans Women’s Programs, Veterans Housing Resources, local chapters of veteran service organization, DES Veterans Employment Service, Vet Center, Veterans Connection Club, YC resources, and others.  Along with browsing tables, there will break-out sessions with a variety of topics such as: Veterans Benefits and Information, VRAP, Post 9/11 Veterans Ed Benefits, Stress Management, Veteran Employment Services, and more.  Also watch for announcements about similar events offered at the Career & Technical Education Center (CTEC) and Verde Valley Campus, currently being planned for October.  Contact Info: Jane Hersh, Director for Trio Programs, 928-776-2091.

Blog Highlight of the Week is from our friends at Guidance Helicopters about career readiness and managing your online presence, at: http://www.guidanceaviation.blogspot.com/2012/09/online-guidance-to-career-placement-in.html  If you don’t think you have an online presence because you don’t Facebook, just Google your name and make sure.  Unless your future is as secure as Prince Harry’s, guard your online presence just like it’s your wallet.

If you are interested in attending events at Yavapai College (any campus), our main webpage (www.yc.edu) has a Calendar of Events including those that are free and open to the public, and some other fabulous events at our remodeled Performance Hall in Prescott.  Here are some other places you can find info, if you are wanting to attend other universities, or are deciding between career options:
