Educational Travel Consultants Awarded Three-Year Contract for College Tours in New York
Taking student groups in junior and senior years of high school on college tours helps to prepare them for college life. Trip leaders can take students on trips to different geographic regions of the U.S. or themed tours (such as Ivy League colleges or Black Colleges).
Hendersonville, NC, May 04, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Educational Travel Consultants, a student travel company based in Hendersonville, North Carolina, was awarded a contract by Federation Employment and Guidance Services (FEGS) in New York City. The three-year contract funds students from underserved neighborhoods to take college tours in the State of New York. Administrators of the workforce development program have been instrumental in steering students towards obtaining college degrees and certificates from technical and trade schools. FEGS participants also compete for employment opportunities throughout New York.

Howard Clemens, CEO of ETC, said, “We are proud to be working with FEGS. Six different college tours have taken place since the three-year contract was awarded last year.
