SCTCC is honored to have veterans as part of its learning community. During the next phase of veterans' journeys, we do our best to help sort through the options that are right for veterans.

Veterans Resource Center

The Veterans Resource Center is a dedicated space for veterans, current service members, and dependents to find information and resources on a variety of subjects, such as benefits, employment, and community events. It provides a place for peer networking, studying, or just relaxing in between classes. The Student Veterans Organization also uses the space for meetings and events. The center is staffed by the MDVA Regional Coordinator and work study students. Come into Room 1-328 and check it out.

Back to School After Some Detours

Veteran Chad Phillip has been working on cars for 30 years.
The willingness to actually learn a trade - it's turning around now. I know a lot of people who went to school but aren’t working in that field. Trades is literally – you're learning exactly what you're going to be doing out in the real world when you get a job.
