Jennifer A. Garrett joins Board of Counselors for USC's Master of Business for Veterans Program

CHICAGO - July 16, 2018 - PRLog -- Jennifer A. Garrett has officially joined the Board of Counselors for the University of Southern California, Marshall's Master of Business for Veterans (MBV) Program. MBV Counselors assist veteran students as they transfer from military service to civilian careers by advising and connecting students with professional opportunities for professional development and career advancement. To support MBV students, Counselors participate in informational interviews, during which the students question them about specific industries, companies and careers to enable them to make informed career choices. Additionally, Counselors often connect the students to their own professional networks to help expand business and career opportunities.

The USC Marshall's MBV Program is a fairly new Masters program that provides an innovative, new approach to educating and transitioning qualified armed forces members into the nation's executive workforce. The leadership and management experience MBV students obtain during their military service enables them to earn a Masters degree in one year. Because of the brevity of the program, coupled with the lack of private-sector experience for veterans whose resumes may only include their military missions, the role of MBV Counselors plays a significant role in providing a seamless transition from military to private business and professional leadership.

Board members are selected from business leaders who have reached a professional level of success that allows them the time and ability to advise and assist MBV students, and who also have respect and appreciation for the contributions and sacrifices veterans have made for their country. The role Board Members have in counseling, advising, connecting and nurturing MBV students contributes immeasurably to both the individual students' success and toward making the Master of Business for Veterans program the absolute best platform in the nation for facilitating the transition of military leaders to successful business executives. As an Army Judge Advocate, currently serving in the Michigan Army National Guard, Jennifer is very excited about joining the Board of Counselors and the opportunity to help MBV students as they look to grow professionally and personally post-military service.
