A new program to help veterans return to the workforce is being launched by Northern Kentucky University (NKU).
Residents of Southgate who are veterans may be interested in such programs, as 92 percent of veterans say that higher education is often required to re-enter civilian life after they have served in the military.
The new program is called the Veteran Leadership Minor and enables veterans to start a new chapter in their lives while also using the experience they gained when they were enlisted. NKU said that this is the first program of its kind in the region.
Dr. Burke Miller, chair of the Department of History, and Amy Danzo, Director of Testing Services and Adult Learner Programs and Services, did an extensive review and discovered that the military service of the average veteran and military student gives them between 15 to 18 credits towards the minor.
The minor requires 21 credits, such that most veterans and military personnel would need only one or two courses to earn the minor, and every bachelor’s degree requires taking a minor.
Such innovative programs often turn to brochure printing to provide more details about requirements and eligibility.
NKU coordinator of veteran student services, Rusty Mardis, said this new minor honors the dedication of the veteran and military students at the university and recognizes the tremendous value they bring to the campus community.
