I would appreciate more information on how to take advantage of Oracle’s University courses as part of the Oracle University Workforce Development Program for Veterans. How can I be apart of this program to gain access to financial software certification courses? I have looked online and emailed Oracle's representatives listed on the website and I have received no response. The website did not provide guidance that explained how to apply, only that the resource was available for veterans.
Thanks

Hi, Alice: looking at your CORE group I see a number of my colleagues who are now at Oracle. Small world.
So you've emailed this address and had no reply? (OU-VeteransRelations_US@oracle.com) Or did you email Michelle Cross?
Best,
Drew
Update: followed up with a message here on AdvisorNet after some research.
Alice -- I have a connection or 2 at Oracle -- but not easy to get in touch with due to holiday week. Please message me @ pete@jnk.com and send along a current resume.
Hi Alice -
Here are the OUWD choices for the State of California :
MTI College http://www.mticollege.edu/
University Of California-Irvine Engineering, Sciences and Technology Programs http://unex.uci.edu/
University Of California-San Diego http://extension.ucsd.edu/
Also, Microsoft has active Veteran training programs :

Microsoft provides Veterans with potentially free training : https://mva.microsoft.com/
Hope you find good information at these links.

Hi Alice,
Thank you for your service!
In addition to these answers above, I wish to tell you an all the other Veterans reading this post, I have come across free training offered in California to CA Employees.
I believe they offer courses in Oracle Database Administration. If you can get into one of these courses it gives you a head start on the training provided by Oracle and also demonstrates your desire to be in this field.
Best of luck. And if you wish, connect with me on Linked In.
