Why Choose STRAC?
STRAC Was Founded by Veterans for Veterans
STRAC Institute was born out of one veteran’s desire to continue to serve his country by helping his fellow veterans learn skills to prepare for careers that would give them confidence and enable them to support themselves and their families. The name “STRAC” is an acronym for “Skills Training And Certification” but it’s also military slang for a well-turned-out, dependable soldier. This is the type of employee a STRAC graduate becomes and the type of person employers want to hire.
