STEP-UP MENTORING
Public Education Foundation (PEF) is committed to creating ways to support students even during challenging times. COVID-19 impacted many STEP-UP Chattanooga employers and our ability to place interns in internships. In an effort to offer students an alternative professional experience, we developed the STEP-UP Mentoring Program.
