“VC and its mentors elevated the expectations that I had of myself by encouraging and equipping me to pursue positions that I previously did not think were attainable for non-target school students. I’m beginning a career in consulting with strong connections and developed habits of networking, and this would not be the case without VC.”

“Vocational Capital has been one of the best things that happened to my college career! My mentors from the program have empowered me to not only believe in the power of my story, but also to be confident in sharing it with my network. The program’s mentor-mentee phone calls have been a wonderful platform that has opened my eyes to the numerous opportunities in Finance. It’s through the training sessions and encouragement from my mentors in the program that I have been able to obtain my New York internship this summer.”

“VC has had a large impact on my career. Not only has the team helped me understand more about networking and resume building through there workshops so that I can ace interviews, but through continued conversations they have helped me understand my fit in the world of finance with my background. I am so thankful for the VC team and all they have done for me.”

“VC truly transformed my perspective. Through the workshops and mentorships, I gained awareness of my own personal narrative, learned more about potential career paths, and built a roadmap of proactive steps to take now in order to orient me toward my goals.
The true gift of this program is that it keeps giving and giving, even after it’s formally over. The coaches are continually supportive and willing to provide interview prep, helpful connections, and a wide spectrum of advice, and the knowledge learned in the program serves as a solid foundation for the vocational lessons you will learn early in your career and beyond.”
