(San Antonio, TX – May 27, 2015) –The Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA) Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) has awarded a contract to
Coley & Associates, Inc. and its partner, Codeup, to provide
Information Technology training through an accelerated learning program
for Veterans and transitioning Servicemembers.
The VA, in alignment with the White House’s Skills and Demand-Driven
Training Initiative has identified accelerated learning programs (ALP)
as an effective alternative to traditional learning methods for
assisting Veterans and Servicemembers transitioning from the military
with learning new skills and quickly finding employment in the
information technology (IT) market.
With this contract award, the Coley/Codeup team will work with the VA
to dramatically accelerate the employment and earning power of Veterans
and transitioning Servicemembers. The Coley/Codeup team will provide a
Bootcamp-style accelerated learning program for up to 200 students per
year with each qualifying student’s tuition fully paid for by the
VA.
The Bootcamp has a successful track record of placing 94% of
graduates; including many who started the program with no background or
experience in software development or engineering IT career fields.
“We are excited to partner with Codeup and be able to provide those
who served our country with an opportunity that will help them find
meaningful employment at good pay levels. This is a win-win for Military
Veterans and the San Antonio Technology community” said Jack Coley,
CEO.
