Indiana’s American Legion Department Endorses MyComputerCareer’s Tuition Grant Program for Former Students of ITT Technical Institute
MyComputerCareer, an innovative adult I.T. career college with
campuses in Indiana, Ohio, North Carolina and Texas, is partnering with
the American Legion and Operation: Job Ready Vets with a new
outreach program that offers financial support and educational
opportunities to Indiana military veterans left stranded by the abrupt
closure of ITT-Tech
INDIANAPOLIS & RALEIGH, N.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$ESI #AdultEducation—The
American Legion Department of Indiana and MyComputerCareer.edu™
today announced that the Legion has endorsed MyComputerCareer’s ITT-Tech
Graduation Grant program.
MyComputerCareer’s ITT-Tech Graduation Grant program was announced in
mid-September following the abrupt closure of over 130 ITT Technical
Institute campuses nationwide, a shutdown that abandoned over 40,000
students, over 6,000 of whom are American military veterans. Under
MyComputerCareer’s new grant program, any former ITT-Tech student who
enrolls in and completes MyComputerCareer’s foundational I.T.
Systems Administrator (ITSA) program
will receive a post-graduation loan repayment grant of up to 37% of the
cost of the ITSA tuition.
“Given its long-standing support for veterans and the excellent pathway
its I.T. Certification courses provide servicemen and women looking to
transition into civilian life, we heartily endorse MyComputerCareer’s
ITT-Tech Graduation Grant program,” said Hugh Dagley, Adjutant of The
American Legion, Department of Indiana. “Not only can veterans take the
ITSA program online from anywhere in the state, but MyComputerCareer has
a campus right here in Indianapolis, which makes it even more attractive
to us and American Legion members in the area.”
According to MyComputerCareer’s Founder and CEO Tony Galati, the ITSA
course is an excellent path for any veteran interested in pursuing a
career in I.T. Security, Network Administration and/or Helpdesk
positions, whether as a manager or administrator.
“Since our launch over eight years ago, we have helped countless
veterans across the country gain the know-how to earn valuable
Information Technology certifications critical for landing high-paying
I.T. jobs,” Galati said. “Through our sponsorship of the POW-MIA
Freedom Car we have developed a close relationship with The
American Legion, and we are quite humbled to receive this endorsement.”
Operation: Job Ready Vets and MyComputerCareer also
Partner in Indiana
In addition to the Indiana Legion’s endorsement of the ITT-Tech
Graduation Grant program, MyComputerCareer will also be working closely
with American Legion partner, Operation: Job Ready Vets (OJRV),
to conduct an outreach program to military veterans in the Hoosier state
and beyond.
“We love the quality of training provided by MyComputerCareer, as well
as its dedication to serving our former servicemen and women,” said Gene
Anderson, CEO of Operation: Job Ready Vets. “MyComputerCareer’s
Lifetime Job Placement services fall right in line with our focus at
OJRV, and we look forward to working with them to help provide
additional support for Indiana veterans.”
While completing the rigorous full-time 7-month or part-time 10-month
ITSA program, students can earn up to 10 I.T. Certifications,
specifically

Windows Operating Systems Fundamentals — Microsoft Technology
