Military Service to Education
Military Service to Education is a joint project under direction of the governor’s office between the State Board of Community and Technical Colleges and the Garrison Command to support pathways to employment for transitioning service members. The schools within 25 miles of a military installation are asked to identify their already existing programs in which the first employable certificate can be completed within 6 months. Service members can then get permission from their commander and apply for an MOA to complete classes during the duty day in the 6 months prior to their ETS or retirement date. To learn more about the Military Service to Education program and the certificates offered at Pierce College visit the WA Career Paths website.
