LearnKey, Hope for US Veterans Team Up for IT Training

    ST. GEORGE, UT, May 02, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- LearnKey, a global provider of information technology (IT) and Career Ready self-paced online training, today announced a strategic partnership with Hope for U.S. Veterans and their world-class, instructor-led accredited IT training programs. This partnership enables the companies to provide the nation's veterans with the "best of the best" in online and classroom IT certification and Career Ready programs.

"We are absolutely thrilled to partner with Hope for U.S. Veterans," says Jeff Coruccini, CEO of LearnKey. "The partnership enables us to provide proven programs like the CNP Course for returning veterans who wish to enter the IT industry, administered through Atlantis University, which is a VA-certified premier program. This aligns perfectly with our online IT training, covering topics and industry-recognized certifications in Microsoft, CompTIA, A+, Network+ and Security+, CCNA, Soft Skills, Windows Server, CISSP, and more."

Both companies not only pride themselves on providing qualified veterans with the opportunity to learn the necessary professional training and skills to become successful in technology-related occupations, they also work closely with employers to find their veteran students jobs.

"LearnKey's 25-year history of providing video-based IT and Career Ready training solutions like 'Certify for Life' -- which provides free education for qualifying U.S. Veterans -- is a perfect complement to my curricula in providing veterans with the ultimate blended learning solution," says Phil Johnson, CEO of Hope For U.S. Veterans. "LearnKey is a trusted partner that has been supporting veterans getting certified through online programs that participate in Vocational Rehabilitation & Employment (VR&E) through the U.S. Veterans Administration."

Through their partnership, LearnKey and Hope for U.S. Veterans can together provide an optimized, blended learning experience to give veterans multiple certifications in a short time span. This accelerated training allows individuals to quickly begin working in the career of their choice. LearnKey's veteran services program boasts a 92% pass rate on leading IT certification exams.

"This partnership leverages a viable and proven learning path that fights the current trend of veteran drop-outs through the use of the most advanced military transitional learning strategies in education," says Coruccini. "As an added bonus, the partnership also adds to the ever-increasing list of employer partners in our network; a network that is putting our veterans back to work!"
