“As a 30-year Air Force veteran, I understand the importance of life-long learning. I chose to enroll in UC Davis Continuing and Professional Education's Professional Coaching for Life and Work Certificate Program to improve my skills and make myself more marketable as I sought new opportunities. It led to my opening a successful business venture and aided in my transition from military to civilian life and work. I currently support other veterans with the skills I obtained from my Continuing and Professional Education experience. I encourage other GI Bill-eligible veterans to look into the programs offered by Continuing and Professional Education. They are sure to find one that will support their needs and possibly launch them in a new, prosperous life season.”
