Introduction:

Note: All CVTI courses are free for everyone.

Columbia University's Center for Veterans Transition and Integration (CVTI) supports excellence and innovation in transition programming for current and former members of the military.

As a transitioning service member, you may face barriers to reaching your potential to access higher education and begin meaningful careers, despite the many effective programs offered to this population by the Department of Labor, the Service Transition Assistance Program, Department of Defense and other programs offered by the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard.

With this in mind, the CVTI is dedicated to creating free courses that will help break down those barriers to your successful transition.

We are currently offering three courses to meet these demands, with more courses on the way.

While these courses are created for veterans and active duty service members, they are free and available to everyone.

Reaching for Higher Education is a course designed to facilitate the successful transition of active duty service members and veterans to post-secondary education, whether it be at a two- or four-year college for an associate's or bachelor's degree, or even a college graduate.

College Studies for Veterans helps orient veterans to the rules and expectations of the college classroom, as well as offering strategies to ease the transition, help achieve academic goals, and enable students to optimize their college education.

Find Your Calling: Transition Principles for Returning Veterans will focus on developing interpersonal, intrapersonal, and intellectual character strengths as it relates to making a successful career transition from military service to the civilian workforce.

The course content is intended to provide you with a framework for an iterative process of self-reflection and the development of practical skills that will enable you to make career decisions that best align with your values, ambitions and continued service.

Ultimately, this course helps you answer the question: What do I do next?
