When it comes to helping people continue to learn after high school and earn credentials for career success, what can we learn from the military? As it turns out, a great deal.
A new report shows some important lessons from the military but also raises questions when it comes to the education and training of our nation’s veterans.
Lumina, Strada Education Network, and Gallup researched the experiences of veterans who hold certificates or certifications, but not college degrees. The study, which surveyed 340,000 U.S. adults, including 30,000 veterans, found:
- Veterans are more likely than non-veterans to hold certificates and certifications, with 57 percent earning some form of a non-degree credential compared to 35 percent of their non-veteran counterparts. While this sizable attainment rate may surprise some, those connected to the military and veteran community won’t be surprised at all. More than 1.3 million active-duty service members are receiving high-quality education and training daily.
