Career Launch programs provide you -- veterans, active duty military and spouses without previous experience -- with an end-to-end pathway to a job in the US growth economy. Career Launch Tracks give you an easy way to get started while providing you with the training and support that will help you qualify for and land a job in a high-demand field -- in a matter of months, rather than the years needed for a college degree. There are no prerequisites, and there is no financial cost to you; your success is determined only by your own effort and progress in each of the Career Track phases. The On-Ramp phase is designed to let you get your feet wet, and to win support for the Preparation phase, where the focus is on your employability. In the Launch phase, you receive individualized support focused on helping you land, and thrive in, your first job.
Launch Phases
Career On-Ramps are designed to give you an opportunity to freely explore a field of interest while earning advancement to the Launch Preparation phase, whose focus is on qualifying you for a job in the field.
On-Ramps have no pre-requisites and are easily accessible. On-Ramps typically take 4-20 hours of self-paced training and some group and simulated learning.
