Mentorship Program:  The HEP Committee members are bringing students who are working for their Agency's and employees who are interested in networking and moving up in their organizations to HEP meetings.  The goal of the mentorship program is to provide the students and employees with positive role models in the Federal Government to share success stories and provide advice in moving up in the Federal Government.  A portion of the meeting time is for scheduled training that is beneficial to both the students and employees.  Training topics range from "improving resumes" to "management skills".  For more information, please contact the HEP Chairperson by e-mail at Athena.Quezada@ed.gov. 

High School Visits:  HEP Committee members are currently visiting targeted schools that have a high concentration of Hispanic students to discuss employment in the Federal Government.  Brochures, application processes, and student programs are shared with students and faculty.  For more information, please contact the HEP Chairperson by e-mail at Athena.Quezada@ed.gov.
