Military-connected learners may face unique and contextual challenges in pursuing a diploma, degree, or specialty certification, where the development of tailored on-campus programming and employment support will give back to those who served our nation.

We support the military-connected community by developing enhanced training, education, and employment pathways.
After recognizing that there is a lack of Canadian-specific knowledge and support for military-connected students, a scalable and customizable framework was developed to attract, retain, and graduate this group of underserved learners.
Release Point Education also develops tailored employment programs for businesses looking to hire Veterans and their family members - an unrealized force in Canada.

· streamline the enrolment process between institutions; and
· share military-affiliated prior learning and assessment recognition practices to support institutional consistency.
