Public Function GetFirstWordUpperCase(ByVal input As String) As String
    Return If(String.IsNullOrEmpty(input) Or String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(input), Nothing, input.Split()(0).ToUpper())
End Function

Checks if the input string is null, empty or whitespace then returns what you wanted if it is not.

For instance, GetFirstWordUpperCase("how are you") returns "HOW"

Simply do MsgBox(GetFirstWordUpperCase("how are you")) to display the result.

Btw instead of returning Nothing, you could throw an error and catch it where you use the function, it's just the basic idea.

Dim words = input.Split() 
Dim result = String.Format("{0} {1}",
                           words(0).ToUpper(),
                           String.Join(" ", words.Skip(1)))

Edit: oh, just the first word, then use words(0).ToUpper
