The VECTR Center provides unique, accelerated programs in high demand and strategic industries tailored to abbreviate the process of receiving post-secondary certificates and degrees by recognizing the extensive training veterans receive during their military service. Through our on-site and community partners (Georgia Department of Veterans Service, Georgia Department of Labor, Department of Veterans Affairs, United Way/Mission United, and others) we provide a one-stop-shop for veterans seeking benefits, educational opportunities, employment services, entrepreneurship, and links to community resources.
