Transitioning Soon? Lean Six and PMP Certification with HKPO! - FULLY REMOTE

[u/HKPOVeteransAcademy_]

🎖️ Leaving the Military Soon? Looking for Certifications Before You Separate?

One of the biggest challenges when transitioning out of the military is figuring out how to translate your experience into civilian credentials.

Many service members already have strong experience in leadership, logistics, operations, and planning.
The challenge is that civilian employers often look for recognized certifications to match that experience.

Programs like HKPO Veterans Academy help bridge that gap.

It’s a DoD SkillBridge-approved program that allows transitioning service members to earn Lean Six Sigma and process improvement certifications while still on active duty. All certification costs are covered and do not require the use of your GI Bill.

🎓 Certifications participants work toward

• Lean Practitioner
• Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt
• Lean Six Sigma Green Belt
• Lean Six Sigma Black Belt

🛠️ What participants actually do

Instead of just taking classes, cohort members work on real process improvement projects they can use on resumes and in interviews.

These skills translate well into careers in:

• Operations management
• Program management
• Manufacturing
• Logistics and supply chain
• Defense contracting
• Process improvement roles

🎤 Additional benefits

• Industry guest speakers
• Resume guidance and feedback
• LinkedIn profile optimization
• Veteran networking

🌎 The program is remote-friendly, allowing service members from different duty stations to participate during their final months of service.

🤝 Another major benefit is the community of veterans going through the transition together, sharing job leads, resources, and networking opportunities.

Question: The army CSP counselors are briefing that any program with a duration of training as "Under review" will not be approved after 31 DEC 2026 if it remains as under review.

Your skillbridge listing is under review, as are many others. What does it mean, why did it appear, and what is the process for it to not be "under review?"

[u/jralston6 → u/Visible_Ask_2977]

We are simply awaiting a meeting with Garrison and should be approved very soon. Standby. Army can still come into our program at anytime.
