“I feel that PLP does do what they said their purpose was and I am glad to experience and be ready for the corporate world.”

“Overall, my impression of PLP was outstanding. Going into this program, I had minimal knowledge of what it involved but I hoped to elevate myself and gain at least one thing. Originally, I came into this program hoping to gain some leadership skills and communication skills for my current position. I did not have gained these skills in particular, but I believe I gained so much more from this program. I gained skills that are critical in the professional industry, such as networking, ethics, public speaking, experience in case studies, mentor guidance, mock interviews, dining etiquette, and time & attention management. The experience of PLP opened my mind that there is more to learn and to achieve. PLP changed my perspective in various ways; it changed how I will view my future self. Being a first-generation student, I was not taught these skills at home; never mentioned by my parents and more than likely not known about to my family. I am so grateful for this experience and the opportunities it has brought me. My favorite aspect of this program is how hands-on it is and how it pushes you. Everyone in this program is so motivating and inspirational through the people involved in it because of where they come from and what they have achieved.”

“This program is the citadel of networking here at UNT. It is an excellent place to meet like-minded peers and connect with professionals who were once in your same shoes.”
