MOVE

Military Options for Veteran Education

What sets MOVE apart:

MOVE builds new education & career options for service members and veterans, recognizing the vital career training required of all military service members. MOVE will increase;

Recruitment of new service members,
Retention of soldiers and sailors, and
Readiness across all military branches.

We decrease obstacles from transition to enrollment, decreasing gap time, saving money, and creating a career-focused ecosystem for success.

Year One Project — TAP Extension

The TAP Extension team assesses military family needs and priorities, collaborates with partners to develop options, and implements solutions. We offer:

Enrollment assistance and planning. This includes financial planning, admissions planning, and new post-secondary options to address where needs vary for military families.
Military BA/BS degree options with partner institutions. Degree options (online and in person), where partner institutions offer Military BA/BS majors and award 45-60 credit hours for active duty training and education.
Military job to career planning and connections. We work with Veterans Ascend and other partners to help military families plan for and pursue long-term career options.
Recruitment & Retention. TAP Extension will increase active duty retention by strengthening the social support network for military families.
21^st Century VFW. VFW organizations are vital connections for veterans across small towns and large cities. TAP Extension offers a new way to engage with veterans, connect them with services, and create multi-generational communities.

The TAP Extension team will travel to bases and military-focused community centers, starting in the Southeast. We build on why the traditional Ag Extension was founded — to remove barriers in getting services, to assist where needed, and to develop innovative solutions to challenges.
