I joined the weekly rundown today, for the first time, and the amount of information and resources for military members/veterans/military spouses, is overwhelming! Jai and his amazing team have donated their time to hit the ground running for all of us. Thank you so much for working so hard, taking time away from yourselves and your families to ensure us as veterans/the military community have so many opportunities to grow ourselves and find careers and education moving through our military transition to the civilian sector. I would highly recommend that any transitioning military member or veteran who is struggling to find their next step, get with Jai and his team here at Act Now Education!

As a veteran struggling to get into the IT/Cybersecurity industry. Act Now got me certified for free with their training & certification. They also found me a mentor I can really connect with on a personal level! I could not recommend a better group of people and resources as a United States Military Veteran! I could not thank them enough!

Transitioning from the military is quite difficult, but this program supports us in getting mentors, help with resumes, interview help, certifications and help with finding employment.

This was a very unique experience for me. Initially I was skeptical about what this was all about. I am an IT professional and seeking knowledge on career growth and advancement. This orientation enlightened me and opened my mind to the amazing opportunities that exist and how to navigate them. The guess speaker gave a wonderful talk and it was very engaging and educative. I was exposed to resources like HH USA, coursera and splunk platform, career coaching and resume improvement tips. This was an opportunity to learn new ideas and network with people in my career field and share in this domain what I know that could help others. What was more interesting is that this was a valuable resource for transitioning service members. This is a wonderful organization and I think it’s changed my life and continues to change the lives of many. I enjoyed it and I got the code was 20Apr: 1692854.

I was hesitant to sign up for this 2 hour webinar on a Saturday, but I’m glad I took the step to go outside of my comfort zone to attend. The first hour was a guest speaker who was a Master Life Coach and her presentation was great. The last hour consists of the hosts to present what they have to offer and how they offer this. It’s also a great opportunity to network and ask questions in an open forum. Personally, I am 15 months out from retiring and I’m starting to attend these types of opportunities to receive educational assistance and this was a great place to start. I’ve already shared this resource with my fellow Marines.

Act Now is a great non-profit organization. They excel in providing "FREE" resources to assist service members retiring, veterans, and spouses with tools to gain education and skills needed to become employable. Jai and his team work as volunteers and do a phenomenal job. They continuously seek opportunities to assist as many soldiers, veterans, and spouses as they can. As a veteran I am thankful and grateful to be a member of the Act Now Military Community. I have learned so much about the opportunities available at no cost. Thank you for all you have done and will continue to do. I encourage service members, veterans, and spouses to join Act Now. You will not be disappointed. Brace and pace yourself as the amount of information introduced may be overwhelming. How do you eat and elephant? One bite at a time. Just because it’s free, please do not take on more than you can handle to allow others to benefit as well.

Like when I attended, they had a rep from Navy Fed bank talking about housing loan options and benefits, plus Q&A.
Pretty cool, but what I found especially interesting was Act Now's program they are offering for Sec+ training. This is a great cert to have in general and I jumped at the opportunity to join this.

The resource, services and opportunities that Jai Salters and his team provide are a godsend to members of the military community looking to upskill in preparation to transition from the service, or have already done so, and looking for ways to be competitive in their civilian endeavors. I have been exposed to resources that I would have otherwise have to otherwise pay out of pocket for. Aside from the upskilling resources, ActNow Education also provides a forum to network with like-minded people that appreciate what the military community has to go through while in, transitioning from, and after leaving military service.

Their dedication to excellence is evident in every task they undertake. Not only are they highly skilled and efficient, but their friendly and collaborative approach creates a positive and enjoyable environment. Really happy that I joined the group. I wholeheartedly recommend Act Now Education for their exceptional work.

Act now provides important information to military spouses/Active duty/veterans. I’ve learned information about certain topics that I had previously been I’m misinformed of. This is my second orientation but since the information rotates, I think it’s beneficial to joint as many orientations as possible so that you don’t miss out on any opportunities. Today we learned about a security plus voucher opportunity and I’m sure that in the future there will be chances to participate in other programs.

I was finally able to attend the Act Now orientation this morning. The superb guest motivators and facilitators made the process easy to follow. It was a great informative session that contained a wealth of information for veterans and their spouses. Thanks for inviting Ms. Leslie Oliver. Her experience and knowledge of banking and VA strategies are next-level. There are posts daily with helpful insights and information made to the group. Le's Roll Warfighter family!

My wife who is in the US Army has been encouraging me to follow Act Now Education to take charge of my career endeavors. I attended the free orientation this weekend and I was appalled at the amount of resources available. The Act Now Education community wants to see you succeed and reach your career goals. Thank you Act Now!

Act Now has been one of the best, if not the best veteran assistance groups that I have the pleasure of joining for transitioning military, veterans, and military spouses. They offer an enormous amount of resources for training, upskilling, connecting to mentors, VA benefit information, and so many other things. It truly is a one stop shop for the military community. My only regret is that I did not find them sooner.

Act Now is an amazing organization that provides stellar resources to the military community and provides a safe space for their members to thrive and learn from each other. I wish I would have known about this organization before transitioning out of the military and make sure to let any veteran know about this resource to help give them an edge as they transition out.

I have been following Act Now for the past year and the amount of resources and knowledge pas through the group is astounding! Although I could not take advantage of many of the opportunities since they were geared toward those that were already transitioned out or currently transitioning, it allowed me to better prepare for my own transition and plan to take advantage of the opportunities now that my time has come. I have recommended several of my friends and colleagues to join Act Now just to check out the resources.

A free resource with a wealth of knowledge and information to help out our military community. I wish this resource was available 13 years ago when my husband first joined. This is a great community dedicated to helping out service members and their spouses gain experience and education in order to land work outside of the service. A lot of these resources are also FREE! How can you beat FREE! I really love how engaging and helpful everyone is at ACT NOW and they volunteer their time too! Every Saturday they hold informational sessions and I have attended 3 even though you only need to attend one to gain access to coursera, simply because they have great speakers who want to share their knowledge. GREAT RESOURCE and should be included in the separation courses service members are required to take when outprocessing or even given to Spouses when they are in processing. Such a great program and resource!

I learned about ACT Now Education through a chief’s group and found it interesting. I have been trying to spread the word around base about the organization. Some of the programs were unknown to myself and many others. I can’t speak more highly of this organization!

I am truly inspired by the impactful endeavors undertaken by the ACTnow organization. Their non-profit initiatives provide Soldiers with invaluable opportunities to enroll in courses on prominent platforms such as Coursera, Splunk, Security Plus, PMP, and others, all without incurring any costs. The inclusion of dedicated mentors guiding Soldiers along their chosen career paths enhances the overall value of the program. I enthusiastically support and recommend ACTnow to my fellow soldiers, colleagues, veterans, and spouses, recognizing the significant benefits it brings to the military community.

I was able to join the Act Now group and attend orientation within a week. The process is easy and simple. Orientation contains a wealth of information with every week containing new and different presenters who are extremely experienced and knowledgable. There are posts daily with helpful insights and information made to the group as well. I have been lucky to find Act Now and take advantage of what they offer, namely the Coursera account for free. I am also pursuing another free opportunity now only because Act Now shared a post about that free opportunity. I was looking into a career change and Act Now has only sped up that process for me. I am super grateful for the Act Now team and all that they do.

Jai Salters is the reason I heard about the ACT Now Education. My name is Jesus Mendez, a Retired Army Veteran and this is one of the best understated and underserved programs out there for transitioning military personnel and veterans like myself. I wish I had known sooner about this program so that I could have started earlier in my career progression to gain the certifications and skills I needed to promote faster. But it's not too late, which is why I am doing this now.
