Veterans Fast Track IT Training

VETERAN FAST-TRACK INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TRAINING

IT person and networking equipmentVeterans returning from active duty may have much more on their shoulders than a typical student might when returning to civilian life. Most have spouses, children and significant life expenses. Under those circumstances, time to transition to substantial employment is short, so for those looking for career training, a fast-track education is vital. Additionally, because much professional military training is done in computer based leaning modules, career programs that offer hybrid (on campus plus online) formats can be more beneficial than conventional formats.

For transitioning veterans, an education in Information Technology may be a viable option. According to the The U.S Department of Labor, employment of computer and information technology occupations is projected to grow 12 percent from 2014 to 2024, faster than the average for all occupations. The median annual wage for computer and information technology occupations was $79,390 in May 2014, which was higher than the median annual wage for all occupations of $35,540.В№

When choosing a IT career training program, it is important to ensure that the school is approved for veterans educational benefits provided by the Post-9/11 GI Bill. For those service members who have served active duty for 90 or more days since September 10, 2001, the Post-9/11 GI Bill can pay full tuition and fees at school, provide a monthly housing allowance while attending school, and provide up to $1,000 a year to use for books and supplies. Eligibility information for the GI Bill can be found on the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs website.²‚³
