TALLAHASSEE, FL (WTXL) -- Tallahassee Community College recently started the "Moore Veterans Leadership Academy," with five student veterans being chosen to participate in the program
The leadership academy allowed them to receive scholarships as well as learn about other avenues of study and leadership opportunities through various workshops.
Past workshops let the veterans explore what goes into working in the education and communication fields. At Friday's workshop, the veterans got the chance to experience the world of performing arts and theater production. This included touring all the behind-the-scenes stage locations, including the catwalk and the sound booth.
"What this program does is it helps to actually expose the veterans to a variety of different areas and explore, and figure out what you enjoy, or what you're passionate about and then begin designing a path to pursue that," said Rob Collins, a USMC student veteran in the Moore Veterans Leadership Program.
TCC hopes to continue this program with this years veterans becoming next years mentors.
