The 8 Keys to Success: Educational Assistance for Veterans

August 28, 2013 Comments off

The 8 Keys to Success: Educational Assistance for Veterans & Transition into the Workforce

Earlier this month, President Obama introduced the 8 Keys to Success at the Disabled American Veterans National Convention in Orlando, Fl.  This is all part of Obama’s effort to support post-secondary education and help veterans transition into the classroom and succeed in the workforce.

The 8 Keys to Success were developed with one goal in mind: to foster veterans’ success in the workforce through educational opportunities and support. The 8 Keys to Success are a combination of ED expert research, discussions with stakeholders (including non-profit organizations, foundations and veterans’ service organizations) and feedback from veterans who had recently completed post-secondary education themselves. The ED and VA then compared this data to best practices from existing “Vet Success on Campus” programs.

“This is a major step forward in the administration’s work to encourage institutions of higher education to support veterans with access to the courses and resources they need to ensure that they graduate and get good jobs,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan.

8 keys to success, educational assistance for veterans

The 8 Keys to Success are:

  1. Create a culture of trust and connectedness across the campus community to promote well-being and success for veterans.
  2. Ensure consistent and sustained support from campus leadership.
  3. Implement a system to ensure all veterans receive academic, career, and financial advice before challenges become overwhelming.
  4. Coordinate and centralize campus efforts for all veterans, together with the creation of a designated space (even if limited in size).
  5. Collaborate with local communities and organizations, including government agencies, to align and coordinate various services for veterans.
  6. Use a uniform set of data tools to collect and track information on veterans, including demographics, retention and degree completion.
  7. Provide comprehensive professional development for faculty and staff on issues and challenges unique to veterans.
  8. Develop systems that ensure sustainability of effective practices for veterans

Already, more than 250 community colleges and universities in 24 states across the country have adopted

“This commitment made by colleges and universities will help veterans better transition from military service into the classroom, graduate and find a good job to help strengthen our economy,” said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki. “Given the opportunity, veterans will succeed because they possess exceptional character, team-building skills, discipline and leadership.”

Veterans and the Healthcare Field

These keys will help veterans successfully enter into high-growth sectors of the economy like healthcare. To date, 38 states have passed laws removing barriers to service members and veterans earning state licenses, especially in the areas of emergency medical technician, paramedics, commercial driver’s license and licensed practical nursing.

We at Corexcel are proud to have partnered with the VA for several years. Together, we have helped over 400 veterans access online, self-paced courses in preparation for beginning a career in the healthcare field. Most of these veterans completed Anatomy and Physiology, Medical Terminology or ECG.  Many of them took the courses preparing to work in medical administration or as emergency medical technicians, paramedics and nurses.

If you are a veteran interested in our online self-paced courses, you should talk with your Department of Veterans Affairs Vocational Rehabilitation and Education Counselor or your Department of Labor, Veteran’s Employment and Training Services Counselor.

Asean Johnson: An Inspiration in Elementary Education

Asean Johnson: An Inspiration in Elementary Education

If you watched the news this weekend, you may have seen Asean Johnson, the 9-year old boy who became the youngest speaker to step in front of the microphone at the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington. Asean, who marched “for education, justice and freedom,” inspired thousands who were gathered around the national mall on Saturday as he proclaimed, “Every child deserves a great education!”

Earlier this year, Asean was instrumental in the fight to sustain his elementary school when the Chicago Board of Education voted to close 50 schools. The video of Asean making his impassioned plea to the school board went viral in May 2013. Asean won the battle when his elementary school was spared from closing, but he still continues to fight for the rights of children everywhere stating,“I encourage all of you to keep Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream alive. Help us fight for freedom, racial equality, jobs and public education because I have a dream that we shall overcome.”

Asean Johnson Elementary Education

It is inspiring to hear this young boy declare education to be of great importance in his life; especially when it is estimated that there are more than 3 million illiterate adults in the United States today.

Although I was a good student and mastered mostly A’s, I can’t say I was a great student. Most classes just weren’t fun for me. I felt as though I was listening silently as teachers spoke for hours on dry, boring topics.

However, since my school days, I have seen the emergence of new and improved ways to enhance educational opportunities. The internet has opened giant doors in developing content that is immediately available and varies based on educational style. I for one, am a visual learner, which means I grasp new concepts more readily if I can see, hear or touch things. Gone are the days of dry lecture-type presentations or reading from musty textbooks. Today’s learner uses things like video, Skype and interactive online exercises to enhance learning experiences. And, virtual classrooms and webinars allow for group collaboration and networking.

Recently, I completed one of Corexcel’s online business courses and was excited to see that the learning segments were highly supplemented with interactive exercises and sample questions to help reinforce the material. This fed my need for “seeing and doing” in order to retain the content. Perhaps it is tools like this that can reignite the “fun” in education and inspire more children, like Asean, to look at education as a priority.

Asean is a bright little boy, wanting to be a professional football player when he grows with back-up plans to be either a lawyer or scientist. Keep studying, Asean, and you can be anything you want to be!
