We know that transitioning out of military service can be a time of great opportunity.

If you’re a veteran in Minnesota or the Upper Midwest, we offer specialized career training designed to fast-track your entry into high-demand fields like IT, cybersecurity, and leadership.
Fast, Flexible, Job-Ready Training
Crescent Career Center’s training programs are designed to get you certified and ready to work in weeks, not years. With a focus on hands-on skills that align with current job market needs, our courses can help you transition into a new career quickly and affordably. Whether you’re looking to move into IT support, cybersecurity, graphic design, or management, we’ll give you the tools you need to succeed.
Post-9/11 GI Bill® & MyCAA Funding
If you’re eligible for veteran education benefits, you can use them to cover the cost of your training. Our team is here to help you understand your options and guide you through applying your benefits to our eligible programs.
Programs like the Post-9/11 GI Bill® can help veterans pay for courses. The Military Spouse Career Advancement Accounts (MyCAA) program offers funding for spouses to pursue training in high-demand fields.
High-Demand Career Paths
IT & Cybersecurity
The demand for IT professionals is growing, and cybersecurity is critical. Veterans with military backgrounds are highly sought after in roles such as network administration and cybersecurity analysis, where discipline and attention to detail are essential.
Graphic Design & Web Development
If you’re creative and tech-savvy, our courses in Adobe Photoshop and HTML5 can give you the tools to become a professional in digital media. These skills are in high demand as businesses focus on enhancing their online presence.
Leadership & Management
Your military leadership experience is a valuable asset. Our leadership and management training can help you translate that experience into civilian supervisory and management roles, giving you the skills to lead teams and make strategic decisions.
We understand veterans often have busy lives, balancing family, work, and other commitments. That’s why we offer live online and in-person training at our Mendota Heights location. You can choose the learning format that best suits your needs and schedule, allowing you to succeed on your terms.
At Crescent Career Center, our support doesn’t end when your training does. We offer job placement assistance to help you transition from the classroom to the workforce. Our career development specialists work closely with recruiting agencies and companies to build relationships and refer students when applicable. Whether you’re pursuing a career in IT, graphic design, or management, we’re here to support your journey.
At Crescent Career Center, you’re not just a student but part of a community. Our instructors are experts in their fields; many have experience working with veterans. You’ll find support from peers and professionals committed to helping you succeed.
