ORANGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Volt Information Sciences, Inc., a global provider of talent, technology and consulting solutions, is hosting a day-long immersion event on September 29, 2011 at its West Region Corporate Headquarters in Orange, CA for members of the junior class of the Preuss School UCSD. The Preuss School UCSD is a middle and high school dedicated to providing an intensive college prep education for motivated low-income students who will become the first in their families to graduate from college.

“My message to students is that every class and every activity is important for your future, including homework. I encourage you to take advantage of every opportunity because each positive step you take will contribute to a brighter, stronger tomorrow for yourself as well as our nation.”

Students will tour Volt’s 200,000 square foot facility and hear from corporate leaders who are participating in the event, providing an opportunity for students to receive exposure to corporate America as well as encouraging students to achieve their educational goals. This is consistent with the Preuss School’s mission to foster a culture of lifelong learning and a shared responsibility among students, their school, their family and local community institutions.

“By experiencing Volt’s day-to-day activities -- from our computer center to our corporate departments including procurement, accounting, contracts, legal, and human resources -- students will have the opportunity to see first-hand the connection between completing their education and possible career opportunities and the chance for a better life,” said Volt Executive Vice President and Co-founder Jerome Shaw.

“The ability to complete my education using GI Bill benefits was one of the greatest opportunities I ever received. An education gave me the foundation and confidence to start Volt with only $13 with my brother in 1950. Without having an education, I believe that neither I nor Volt would have experienced the growth and success of today,” said Shaw. “My message to students is that every class and every activity is important for your future, including homework. I encourage you to take advantage of every opportunity because each positive step you take will contribute to a brighter, stronger tomorrow for yourself as well as our nation.”

Founded in 1950, Volt delivers innovative talent, technology and consulting solutions, operating through an international network servicing North and South America, Europe and Asia Pacific.
