TESTIMONIALS

 “I had a wonderful time and learned more than I could have anticipated. At the end of the seminar, we all went Venice Beach to relax and attend the Nokia Core Tour Sports & Music Festival. Based on YPGN's introduction to the president of the Core Tour, I was offered a job at his company to work in event sports marketing, which was my initial goal for attending the Success 101 Business Academy. Thank you for all your hard work in putting together the entire program and thank you for my new job.”
Jenn Gatton ~ Arizona State University, Senior, Marketing Major

"I obtained some of the most valuable knowledge from experienced panelists and speakers in the seminar. Not only did I make great connections, I learned how to take charge of my life, how to network, how to build a better resume, and how to score an interview. What I learned in the four days at this seminar is beyond what I learned in the four years of college. Within a month of moving to Los Angeles, I landed a job at a local asset management firm using the skills I learned from attending the Success 101 Business Academy. YPGN is an excellent organization that brings outstanding people together to share our knowledge and experiences. I cannot thank you enough for inviting me to this event."
