Too often, Amie\u2019s clients have outdated equipment or software that makes completing their daily tasks frustrating. After Amie\u2019s IT assistance, they can effectively do their job and serve their clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey are super excited to have a computer that works,\u201d Amie said with a smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Behind that smile is the confidence of knowing that through her work she has helped someone and will continue to help others. Her professional satisfaction is a new feeling, one she hasn\u2019t felt since her time in the Marines or when she worked as a dispatcher at her local police department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;For me, my work needs to fulfill a bigger purpose,\u201d Amie told Hiring Our Heroes. \u201cI want to feel like what I\u2019m doing is benefiting the world around me.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Career Forward, Free Self-Paced Training and Support<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the support of a Google.org grant, Hiring Our Heroes recently launched a new learner-to-earner program \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/career-services\/education-networking\/career-forward\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Career Forward<\/a> \u2014 to help thousands of veterans, transitioning service members, and military spouses achieve economic mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGoogle.org is proud to support Hiring Our Heroes to train veterans for in-demand jobs through our new Career Forward program,\u201d said Jacquelline Fuller, President, Google.org. \u201cOur hope is that increased access to portable career credentials along with the right wraparound support will help veterans, military service members, and their families reach their full economic potential.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through the Career Forward initiative, learners get free access to <a href=\"https:\/\/grow.google\/certificates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google Career Certificates<\/a> \u2014 a self-paced, online learning program that develops in-demand job skills in high-growth career fields, including data analytics, IT support, project management, and user experience design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The certificates are designed to help provide learners with the skills they need to land entry-level jobs in three to six months, no degree or prior experience required. To date, there are more than 50,000 Google Career Certificate graduates in the U.S., with 82% reporting a positive career impact such as a new job, promotion, or raise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/211102-Career-Forward-Social_Page-1-FB-IG-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Career Forward learner social graphic image\" class=\"wp-image-3132\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/211102-Career-Forward-Social_Page-1-FB-IG-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/211102-Career-Forward-Social_Page-1-FB-IG-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/211102-Career-Forward-Social_Page-1-FB-IG-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/211102-Career-Forward-Social_Page-1-FB-IG-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/211102-Career-Forward-Social_Page-1-FB-IG.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Career Forward participants have free access to the Google Career Certificates, self-paced online training programs which provide the critical skills transitioning service members, military spouses, and veterans need to land the jobs they want and advance their careers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After completing a Google Career Certificate, learners can apply for 12-week paid job-training fellowships at companies like Booz Allen Hamilton, Deloitte, Freedom Learning Group, and more. To ensure their success during and after the program, Career Forward learners will receive additional support from Hiring Our Heroes staff, including resume workshops and interview prep, and have regular opportunities to engage with fellow learners, program graduates, and professionals in the certificate fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I Started the Course in February; in May I Had a New Career<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Amie, the biggest obstacle to her success was herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A supply administration and operations specialist in the Marine Corps, she was curious about a career in IT, but when she considered taking a college class, self-doubt clouded her thoughts. Self-doubt told her that she was too old to reinvent herself. She was a mom and a wife. Self-doubt reminded her about her busy family life. When would she find the time and the money to go to school?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every time her husband suggested a career change, Amie brushed off the idea. In 2020, after leaving a job she found unfulfilling, Amie had the time, flexibility, and motivation to explore a new career. Her plan? Spend one hour daily working on the Google IT Support Professional Certificate course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI found it easy to get sucked into the videos and then I would take a quiz, and then I would say \u2018well I\u2019ll finish this week out.\u2019 It just snowballed from there,\u201d Amie said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amie was hooked on the self-paced Google IT Support courses in the same way people binge-watch a new tv series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe next thing I knew I was almost done with the course. I had this sort of lightbulb moment when I realized that I had the confidence and the technical knowledge to do this,\u201d Amie said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soon, she started applying for jobs. Almost immediately, she got a phone interview and soon afterward, a job offer. Amie was surprised at how quickly she was able to transition into an in-demand field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI started the course in February and by May I had a new career,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-medium is-resized is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Amie_Career_Forward_Spotlight-300x219.png\" alt=\"Career Forward learner gains new skills with Google Career Certificates\" class=\"wp-image-3032\" width=\"300\" height=\"219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Amie_Career_Forward_Spotlight-300x219.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Amie_Career_Forward_Spotlight-1024x747.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Amie_Career_Forward_Spotlight-768x561.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Amie_Career_Forward_Spotlight-1536x1121.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Amie_Career_Forward_Spotlight-2048x1495.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Amie Hanbury recommends that veterans, like herself, and military spouses sign up for Google Career Certificate courses, even if they aren\u2019t looking for a career change right now.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Career Forward Will Change Lives<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/career-services\/education-networking\/career-forward\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Career Forward<\/a> is the first program in Hiring Our Heroes\u2019 history to provide a complete career pathway for the entire military community, including transitioning service members, military spouses, and veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThrough Google\u2019s generosity, Career Forward will change lives, creating pathways for thousands of military community members to complete Google Career Certificates, develop job-ready skills, and connect with employers,\u201d said Hiring Our Heroes President Eric Eversole. \u201cAnd the program\u2019s unique structure will enable us to reach segments of the military community often underrepresented in employment programs, such as our members stationed overseas, transitioning service members who decide to separate after one term, and in particular, those who do not have college degrees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amie recommends that veterans, like herself, and military spouses sign up for Google Career Certificate courses, even if they aren\u2019t looking for a career change right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t want anyone else to miss out on this opportunity,\u201d Amie said. \u201cI thought I was too old to start over in a new career and all of this was at my fingertips the whole time.
