Have you checked out the local community college’s new programs tailored for veterans? They’re offering everything from tech certifications to small business workshops. Engaging with these educational resources can really empower us to build new careers and connect with fellow veterans in the process.
I took a coding bootcamp at my local community college and it really helped me land a tech job afterward. It’s great to see they’re expanding options for veterans with things like business workshops. Have you looked into the funding options they might have for these programs?
It’s true, remote sales roles are like finding a unicorn — rare but magical when you do! I landed a remote position a while back, and I learned that networking is key; don’t be shy about reaching out to industry contacts. You never know who might have a lead, so keep that LinkedIn active.
I found that joining a study group at the community college really made a difference in my learning experience — it helped me stay motivated and connected with others who were in the same boat. Have you thought about reaching out to fellow vets to form a group?
Those programs sound like a goldmine for new skills! I’ve been meaning to check them out myself, especially the business workshops. @glucas89, do you think the networking aspect is just as important as the skills you learn?
