IERC Education Foundation Announces Launch of Crowdfunding Campaign‎‎

BRONX, N.Y. - Dec. 3, 2013 - PRLog -- By next spring, nearly 2 million college graduates face unemployment rates of five to 15 percent. For many motivated juniors and seniors the big objective is to find ways to stand-out in a competitive marketplace. Now a new program helps some do just that.

Bronx-based, International Educational Resource Education Foundation (IERCEF) with partner IES Abroad and the North Carolina Study Abroad/Global Engagement (NC SAGE) Partnership are launching a one-of-a-kind, Public Health in Jamaica‎ summer pilot in 2014. This four-week, five credit course is the first of a series of offerings designed to sharpen U.S. college students' global workforce insight and strengthen their marketplace outcomes."It's simple, their success is our success. "There's is nothing sustainable about having more grads defaulting on student-loans and being long-term, mal-employed." says Steven Jones, President/CEO of IERCEF.

IERC Education Foundation is seeking backers via Indiegogo (http://igg.me/p/591099/x/5413088). Campaign title: Strengthening Graduates' Marketplace Outcomes.
