Michael Haynie,\\xa0Ph.D.\\nCivilian Credentials and Certification Program\\nThe program Onward Opportunity is really growing. \\xa0Research showed that civilian credentials and certifications (PMP, HR Certifications) were needed so they created a program in partnership with Starbucks to provide skills training in 32 different areas. All of which lead to a different credential, license or certification. \\xa0They are currently running that program on 18 military installations and online and are all free.\\n\\n\\u201cWe realized through our research that one of the ways to support post service employment for service members \\xa0is to get civilian credentials and certifications in their hands.\\u201d \\u2013 J.
