Robert P. Givens serves as the president of RPG Consulting in Louisville, Kentucky, where he handles operations for process improvement and aids clients with strategic planning and enterprise management. Beyond his professional obligations, Robert P. Givens serves on the advisory board of the veteran support organization Where Opportunity Knox, which administers veteran aid programs such as the Senior Leaders Corporate Fellowship Program (SLCFP).
The SLCFP is a career skills program that offers an insider’s insight on preparing to transition from military service to civilian life. Military personnel who participate in the program learn skills for developing a civilian career path after military service and engage in experiential learning through workshops, job training, and networking events. Additionally, the program helps Fellows establish future career goals and create tool kits for success.
Classes run every eight weeks, with the next class taking place in February 2018. Over the course of the program, participants will attend eight mandatory workshops and seminars one day a week at the organization’s Education Center. Curriculum includes resume tailoring, business etiquette, styles of communication, and organizational discourse. Fellows also receive an introduction to industry sectors.
Where Opportunity Knox manages the program in collaboration with the Army Continuing Education System and the Soldier for Life Transition Assistance Program (SFL-TAP). Program applicants must complete SFL-TAP transition workshops prior to applying and submit a general resume and cover letter.
