MyComputerCareer Earns Military Friendly® School Designation for Third Time

IT-training school snags honor for its continued dedication to bettering the lives of active duty and retired service members through learning platforms designed to help them find careers in months rather than years.

HOLLY SPRINGS, N.C., April 11, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- MyComputerCareer, an accredited online and in-campus technical college, today announced its Columbus, Ohio; Indianapolis, Indiana; and Raleigh, N.C., locations earned Military Friendly® School designations. The Military Friendly® School award honors colleges and universities serving military and veteran students nationwide, which are evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey.

"Our dedication to both active duty and retired service members is ingrained in much of what we do at MyComputerCareer and expanding our learning options and support for these folks to help them find rewarding careers in their civilian lives is a driving force," said Tony Galati, founder and CEO of MyComputerCareer. "The fact that we earned this honor from a pool of 1800 participating schools across the country highlights that our efforts are making a difference for this important community."

MyComputerCareer's Cyber Warrior Program, designed to provide the skills needed for Veterans to transition into meaningful careers in the high-demand world of cybersecurity, is one of the powerful learning options available to students. Just 12-weeks in length, the program requires dedication and discipline to understand complex concepts in a short amount of time to earn four sought-after IT cyber certifications. Since developing the platform, the Cyber Warrior Program is one of the school's most popular additions, expanding from one class on Nellis Air Force Base to an online platform serving students throughout the country. The school assists active duty and retired service members with enrollment, scholarships, training, and job placement.

Educational institutions are measured for the Military Friendly® School designation on their ability to meet thresholds for student retention, graduation, job placement, loan repayment, persistence (degree advancement or transfer) and loan default rates for all students and, specifically, for student veterans. The Military Friendly® awards are owned and operated by VIQTORY, a service-disabled, veteran-owned small business. Methodology, criteria and weightings were determined by VIQTORY with input from the Military Friendly® Advisory Council of independent leaders in the higher education and military recruitment community.

This creates a competitive atmosphere that encourages colleges to consistently evolve and invest in their programs.
