Employer highlight: Military.com has a section of their webpage dedicated to helping veterans find jobs, and highlighting military-friendly employers. Their pick this week is Allstate Insurance: http://www.military.com/jobs-in/employer/allstate/?ESRC=mrvr.nl and Allstate’s direct job search link is: http://www.allstate.com/careers/job-search.aspx When looking for veteran-friendly employers online, use your ID theft/scam-detector senses and double check everything.
Also from Military.com: “The Troops to Teachers program provides funds to recruit, prepare, and support former members of the military services as teachers in high-poverty schools. Service members with a baccalaureate degree or higher are eligible to begin the teaching certification process to become a teacher. However, many service members may already qualify to become a vocational/technical teacher. Military members from all of the armed forces can use tuition assistance for their teaching certification while on active duty. For more information, visit the Troops-to-Teachers Program webpage at www2.ed.gov/programs/troops/index.html and the Department of Education Teachers-Teachers.com website at www.teachers-teachers.com, which lists teaching vacancies for each state.” Hint: Yavapai College offers education courses toward your transfer degree, and NAU offers coursework for their Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education at the YC Prescott campus.
