Though the economy is slowly getting better, the job market is still competitive. Holding a professional certificate from a Servicemembers Opportunity College (SOC) can really give you an advantage when your service contract is up and you starting looking for a career-launching job. If you are serving in the military and have not already enrolled in online courses at a military college, here are some reasons to start the path toward earning a professional certificate:
- Study and Serve at the Same Time
Online college courses at an SOC-approved institution enable military service people to complete coursework while on active duty. If you choose to study before serving or study during your service, you won’t have to take time off to obtain the educational prerequisites required for work in your chosen field. This can save you up to two years of study.
- Obtain an Industry-Specific Skillset
Most desirable jobs require some sort of education or long-term training. By earning a professional certificate from an SOC-approved school, you can gain skills that qualify you to work in a specific field. This gives you a competitive edge as you enter the job market after your service.
By earning a professional certificate, you can expect to make more money than those entering the workforce without any kind of college education.
If you are looking to impress prospective employers and land the job you want upon completion of your service, taking college courses to receive a professional certificate will give you a distinct advantage. To find out more about this enriching opportunity, call Dallas TeleCollege Online Military Program at (214) 431-3239. We offer SOC-approved courses for those looking to earn a professional certificate or degree while serving in the military.
