The Transitioning Military Training Program assists transitioning military members with refining the skills that they’ve gained through their military service to match the demands of employers throughout the region. Each program offered through TMT results in a professional license or certification which is key when stepping out into the civilian workforce. Additionally, the Transitioning Military Training Program scholarship covers you for the cost of the course and, upon successful completion, the cost of the certification testing (courses normally range from $895-$4800).

Nationally recognized certifications are becoming increasingly important to job seekers. Prior service members have a wealth of experience and possess many traits desired by employers, but often have difficulty landing jobs because they lack certifications or documented training that formalize their experience and abilities. The Technical College of the Lowcountry is pleased to announce access to EIGHT programs for transitioning military members and veterans that will greatly enhance their marketability in today’s job market:
