A ‘Military Friendly School’
Learning Alliance Corporation (LAC) has officially been recognized as a Military Friendly® School, a distinction awarded to institutions that help veterans transition successfully from military service to education and meaningful careers. According to MilitaryFriendly.com, this designation means a school “strives towards and succeeds in the areas that matter most in helping veterans make the transition from the military to school and, ultimately, satisfying careers in the civilian world.” LAC takes this recognition seriously, stating, “We believe that this is the very cornerstone of creating sustainable civilian opportunities for veterans. Because without demand for their talent, veterans are left with nothing more than periodic scraps of interest out of gratitude for their service... not based in them providing real value to the organizations they join.”
Fred Arnold, LAC’s Director of Operations and a veteran himself, shared how personal this mission is. “As a Veteran myself, I work hard every day to ensure my brothers and sisters in arms have a pathway to success after their transition,” he said. “It was hard for me to find something fulfilling after military life, so I understand the struggle. It is my hope that our dedication to our Veteran students provides a small chance at clarity for their career goals by giving them an opportunity to enter a high skill, high waged profession upon graduation.”
LAC continues to support the military community through programs aligned with national initiatives, such as the U.S. Department of Education’s 8 Keys to Veterans’ Success. With many veterans among its student body, the institution works to ensure they have access to the resources, training, and career opportunities they deserve. “These hardworking individuals deserve the chance to succeed, and that is exactly what LAC aims to provide."
“Learning Alliance dedicates itself to excellence in all aspects of our institution. Providing high skill, high wage job potential for Veterans and their families is a true aspect of that mission and vision. When our colors show up, it means jobs. When our name is mentioned, it means futures. We are proud to accept the 8 Keys to Veterans Success and all that comes with it.”
