Duke University - Summer Session

Summer Session 2016

Maximize your summer, broaden your college experience, and join us with more than 1,100 Duke undergraduates and 400 visiting students to experience the 2016 Duke Summer Session.

Take advantage of the relaxed summer atmosphere to explore the vibrant academics offered by a premier research university.  Select a traditional 6-week term to focus upon one or two classes.  Or immerse yourself in a single course in a 4-week intensive term.  And don’t forget to sample the richness of Durham, North Carolina, and environs.  Investigate the incredible local food scene.  Enjoy Durham Bulls’ ballgames, American Dance Festival performances, and free Friday evening downtown concerts.  Sneak away for a weekend at the Carolina coast or the mountains – or both.  Or just relax and unwind any day in the Sarah P. Duke Gardens, located in the center of campus.

Explore…focus…immerse.

Logistics Education And Pathways (LEAP) – Atlanta

LEAP

Georgia Tech is launching a fast-track certification program to help promote increased participation from Atlanta’s minority youth in high-growth careers. Led by the Georgia Tech Supply Chain and Logistics Institute, the program is supported by a $350,000 grant from JPMorgan Chase & Co. toward the firm’s global New Skills at Work initiative that promotes workforce development to bridge the gap between the talent employers need and the qualifications of the local talent pipeline.

With the goal of attracting 16-24 year olds in Metro Atlanta* to careers in Logistics, the new program can help prepare participants to compete for jobs and successful careers in supply chain and logistics. As an Equal Education Opportunity Institution, applications from veterans, underrepresented minorities and women are strongly encouraged.

4 Courses Focusing on Logistics & Supply Chain Career Readiness

Four main areas of instruction will be covered, based on input received from supply-chain intensive companies based in Atlanta, including Coca-Cola and UPS.
Students will be able to learn at their own pace while progressing toward certification. In addition to the course content, students will receive career coaching, resume advice, and participate in a career fair.

JA Build Your Future™ App

JA Build Your Future™ App - Description
   

The JA Build Your Future™ app allows teens to explore more than 100 careers; see what levels of education are required, from no education to a doctorate; learn about potential income; and then calculate the cost of education, including factoring the cost of attending in-state, out-of-state public universities and private universities. Teens can then adjust the level of money they and their parents will contribute, combined with student loans they may need to secure. At the end of the exercise, teens are given a Return on Investment (ROI) score between 1 and 5. A score of 1 means it will be difficult to pay off the debt accrued based on future income; 5 means they should have no problem paying off debt with estimated future income.
