For Military-Serving Education & Training Institutions
EDUCATION providers are critical to workforce development outcomes & all 50strong outreach efforts. We believe that community colleges & universities can be collaboration, engagement & upskilling hubs for ALL military families & employers in our communities. Here's why:
​
-
About half of the ~160k service members that separate each year from active duty pursue full-time education en route to civilian employment. They are in "extended transition".​​
-
There are ~900k Military-affiliated students using DoD Tuition Assistance & VA Benefits. Many of them are in "extended transition".
-
Many are enrolled in online-based schools. Virtual career readiness delivery is key.​​
​Awareness & championship of all military-ready pathways opportunities can be critical
for student outcomes.​​
​
Yet many campus-based recruiters aren't aware of military-specific pathways at their company.
Further, most schools do not have military-specific career resources.​
2025 Higher Education Outreach Partners
"Yes, we will ensure that we will periodically share 50strong with our students via email/social sharing to help support their career readiness & industry exposure."
Note: the 50strong team works to "re-certify" our institution outreach partners often to ensure most up-to-date contacts and outreach channels. The below is the schools that have updated their commitment to share since Jan 1, 2025.
