EWC Human Resources Director Reaches Outside the Campus to Help Veterans
Arthur Bendolph, Jr. has been taking care of the faculty, staff and administrators at Edward Waters College since July of 2012. But for 22-years, he helped take care of the country in the United States Air Force. His fight for our nation isn't over. Bendolph, Jr. is now serving our country by helping others who did the same.
Bendolph, Jr. is enrolling veterans from Operation Desert Thunder, Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom into his new program, ACCCOLPH: A Caring Career Coaching Organization Leveraging Patriotic Heroism. The 12-week program will teach veterans how to use their military training in the civilian workforce. It was a challenge he experienced firsthand.
"I had a problem adapting. I had five jobs in two years," said Bendolph, Jr. He says it wasn't until he learned to change for the job, instead of expecting the job to change for him, that he finally found success outside of the uniform.
The 12-week veteran reintegration course will be held on Edward Waters College campus, but it will be completely funded by donations. Bendolph, Jr. hopes to begin teaching his first course January 31st. If you would like to help, you can donate at acccolph.com.http://acccolph.com/
