The Onward to Opportunity Program for the Jacksonville Military Community


Onward to Opportunity for the Jacksonville Military Community offers two career tracks: Information Technology & Business Management.

Your journey will begin with five days of face-to-face career development training and facilitation. This classroom training includes the two-day Onward to Your Career course, one-day of career development modules and facilitation to include mock interview sessions with local employer partners and culminates in a half-day of your industry foundations followed by the Employer Spotlight Networking event. This four-day phenomenal career development in-class portion is followed by 13 weeks of online coursework to earn an industry certification.

While you complete your certification coursework, you will also participate in local mixer/networking events with our National and Community Employer Partners and Veteran Support Organizations to hone your personal marketing techniques and skills. Networking is a great way to gain an inside perspective on careers in the private sector while introducing yourself to companies that are looking to hire O2O graduates. Additionally, our National Partner Hire Heroes USA will also help to build your resume and prepare you for interviews.
