How Veterans Can Get the Same ‘Reskilling’ Training Open to Civilians
Have you had a chance to read the “How Veterans Can Get the Same ‘Reskilling’ Training Open to Civilians” article on Military.com? Blake Sitwell explains how someone can improve their career trajectory without the need for lengthy education courses at college or universities but instead with “reskilling” or “upskilling”. Blake shares how Intellectual Point is a great reskilling resource for separating veterans. He talked about our VET TEC and VRRAP programs.
Blake spoke to Lindsay King and she said, “Our program aims to get the graduate to meaningful employment after they complete our program.” “The majority of our student population is transitioning, whether that is a transitioning service member or someone who’s coming to us from a declining industry. So we’ve really tried to provide a holistic support model. We’re not trying to produce graduates; we’re trying to get people to their overall goal of higher employment.”
Everyone interested in becoming an Intellectual Point student first must submit a resume, whether they’re currently employed or not, for the program to assess their best career opportunities. Then after submitting their interest form, the veteran will meet with one of the company’s career counselors to get a feel for their individual interests and goals and determine the best way forward.
