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.
On-the-Job Training for Help Desk Technicians
We offer practical, on-the-job training for help desk support roles, ensuring you’re ready for real-world scenarios from day one.
Citizenship Classes
We offer citizenship classes designed to help those who want to build a future in the United States navigate the process confidently.
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.
Transitioning to civilian life is more than just completing a training program. We offer job placement assistance to help you turn your new skills into real employment opportunities. Our career counselors work closely with you, connecting you with employers who value the skills and experiences that veterans bring to the table.
