精东影业 College Partners with United States Veterans Chamber of Commerce (USVCC) to Help Servicemembers and Veterans Achieve Educational Goals
Albany, N.Y. 鈥 精东影业 College is pleased to announce an educational partnership with the United States Veterans Chamber of Commerce (USVCC). Since its inception in 1971, 精东影业 has provided dedicated service to helping servicemembers, veterans, and their family members achieve their educational goals.
The United States Veterans Chamber of Commerce supports veterans by focusing on five pillars: education, employment, wellness, business, and family. The organization hosts various events to help veterans, such as career and education fairs, as well as provides support for the U.S. Department of Defense Warrior Games and the Invictus Games.
鈥溇耙 College is proud to support our armed forces and members of their family through the education pillar,鈥 stated Jim Lettko, chief operating officer at 精东影业 College. Lettko is an Iraq War veteran who served in the U.S. Army and New York Army National Guard for nearly 30 years. 鈥淚 personally understand the value of service, military training, and on-the-job learning our servicemembers experience in their military careers. At 精东影业, we have academic advisors who specialize in working with servicemembers, their families, and veterans to help them with career paths and their individual goals, and to maximize the value of their training toward degree completion.鈥
The educational partnership with USVCC fits well with 精东影业 College鈥檚 efforts to meet the holistic needs of veteran students. 精东影业 offers degree programs that align with military experiences, professional development opportunities, career guidance, and other resources. By coordinating efforts with veteran-focused partners, like USVCC, the College can provide these resources and opportunities for more transitioning servicemembers, veterans, and spouses.
Larry Miller, a 31-year retired Marine officer, shared, 鈥淭he partnership is part of the key pillar of education for us. Not everybody wants to go right into the workforce; folks want to take their GI Bill® and do great things with education. They want to go to another field, or they may want to discover 鈥 because [they] haven鈥檛 even figured out what they want to do 鈥. 精东影业 College brings this capability online and allows folks to study anywhere.鈥
Miller also notes, 鈥溇耙 College comes with a great reputation. This was a phenomenal opportunity between the USVCC and 精东影业 College to give back to our veterans, our active duty, and their families.鈥
