I paid for this certificate course on Coursera and am extremely grateful for their refund policy. I’d like to highlight what I feel was beneficial from taking this course, despite not feeling that I learned anything “new”. That being said, if anyone has any suggestions for veteran or military focused learning, feel free to share! I won’t start the DSW program until June, but I’m always down to expand my knowledge and skillset. This course included peer-graded assignments. It was insightful, but also a little shocking to read some of the biases and remarks of other learners concerning veterans. It pains me to know that a medical professional’s first impression of a post-9/11 veteran could be that they were “poor, dressed cheap in high school, and most likely a slacker”. How someone gathers that from a photo and knowledge of service, I’m not sure. Remarks concerning older veterans were much more respectable, but for younger veterans? I felt my blood boiling at times. If you’re a veteran or work with veterans… Please speak up against service member stereotypes. Educate those who are unfamiliar with military culture to better expand their perspectives to help those they could be providing services to. I would definitely recommend the free trainings provided by the VHA over anything available right now on Coursera. If you know a provider that could use a crash course in military culture, please use the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs as a resource. #veteransmentalhealth #lifelonglearner #veteransmatter

WARTAC Program Skillbridge Review ⭐️ Rating 1 / 5 Review by anonymous: “As a participant who was initially accepted into the WARTAC program, I have encountered significant challenges that future applicants should consider. The application process began promisingly in March through USA Jobs, and I was accepted into the program slated to start on May 6th. However, the program’s communication was alarmingly sparse; aside from inquiries about MEB status, updates were virtually non-existent. Just days before the class start date, on April 29th, I received an email notifying me of the cancellation of the entire course due to insufficient positions. This abrupt cancellation came as a shock, especially after receiving an acceptance confirmation. The program’s lack of foresight and communication was not only disheartening but also disruptive. Many participants, including myself, had foregone other opportunities in reliance on our acceptance into WARTAC. The sudden withdrawal of our positions—with the only explanation being a vague reference to the "need of the VA"—left us scrambling. For some, this timing is critical as they near retirement or their ETS dates, making it impossible to simply wait for the next cohort. Previously, WARTAC had accepted a broad range of applicants over the past two years, but recently, they seem unable to accommodate new participants effectively. Despite being promised a choice among 55 locations, we were presented with only 5-6 less desirable options this time around. In conclusion, while the theory behind the WARTAC program is commendable, its execution lacks reliability and clarity. The program’s failure to manage expectations and communicate effectively makes it a risky choice for those transitioning from military to civilian roles. Prospective participants should be wary and consider maintaining alternative plans.” See the full review here : https://lnkd.in/dny2vgVr 🚨 Make sure to follow us for more reviews! #skillbridge #dodskillbridge #skillbridgeprogram #militarytransition #transitioningmilitary
