Google Volunteers

 

 

 

Our friends at Google are working on a program to help some important veterans' NGOs deliver online career services to veterans. In preparation for launch, they are looking for student veterans who will volunteer to (1) watch a few test classes and (2) provide candid feedback on what they like and areas for improvement. This is a unique opportunity to offer advance feedback on a program that has the potential to help thousands if not millions of veterans and military families. Participants must sign an electronic non-disclosure agreement about the program in order to participate in one or more of the following sessions via Google+ Hangout online:
 
Tues 10/30, 1-1:45pm edt
Tues 10/30,  3-345pm edt
Tues, 10/30  4-445pm edt
Wed, 10/31 1-145pm edt 
 

If would like to participate, please RSVP by filling out this sign-up sheet no later than Friday, 10/26. You will receive instructions from Google by Monday, 10/29.
