We aren’t aware of any other group quite like Coding for Veterans. As industry members we started with a focus on the job and mapped the process back to the common skill sets of a Veteran or Transitioning Military member. The only metric that matters to us is the good sustainable job the Veteran gets at the end of the training we provide.
It does. But you would need to follow the VAC process and have your learning program approved through that process. Once you register for the program you receive notice of acceptance from the College and that is what VAC needs in order to release your funding. You pay the College directly once you receive the funds from VAC. The College then generates your student number and gives you access to all the student materials in your program.
After the Intake Assessment and interview, C4V connects you to the College Coordinator, and then continues with a lead role in the Organizational Behaviour for Transitioning Veterans “Capstone” course. C4V provides industry mentors to help you in the move to the IT industry and arranges peer meet-ups – either virtually or in-person where appropriate. C4V provides industry news and insights to help you focus on the endpoint of your training.
