Professional Development
|
VUB is committed to helping veterans present themselves professionally and confidently in the classroom, the office, and beyond.
For institutions, we're happy to bring our workshops "on the road". We've spoken at a variety of locations around Massachusetts and have the capacity to bring a "pop-up" room to your facility. Contact us today to learn more! |
Whether you're interested in directly entering the workforce or first obtaining further education, we can help you present the most professional "you" possible.

Workshops
Workshops are held at-will and cover a variety of topics. Guest speakers from area community colleges, universities, career centers, veteran-facing institutions (including the VA), and more may present on specific topics. Currently, all workshops are held virtually over Zoom or other video platforms.
