Jobbeschreibung

Veteran Admissions Specialist - Veteran Education Programs

$72k - $108k

Overview

NGT Academy was founded by two U.S. Air Force veterans who spent years training military IT engineers - and we're on a mission to place 1 million people into tech careers by 2030. This role exists to help fellow veterans use their military education benefits to launch IT careers. You'll guide service members through enrollment in our university partnership programs, helping them understand their benefits, address their concerns, and decide if working together is the right next step. If you've served, you already understand what these students are going through. That's why we strongly prefer a veteran for this role.

What You'll Own

• Veteran enrollment consultations via Zoom and phone - explaining programs, benefits eligibility, and career outcomes
• Military education benefits navigation - helping veterans understand how to use their benefits through our university partnerships (often at no out-of-pocket cost)
• Your pipeline - tracking all prospects in CRM, following up consistently, nurturing leads who need time to decide
• Conversion targets - meeting weekly/monthly KPIs
• Objection handling with veteran-specific empathy - addressing concerns about career change, time commitment, and whether tech is realistic for them
• Student support coordination - working with Student Success on withdrawals and questions as needed

What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days)

• Completed training on all programs, systems, and military education benefits
• Connected with university partnership contacts and understand the enrollment flow
• Consistently meeting or approaching weekly enrollment targets
• Built organized follow-up systems in CRM with veteran-specific notes
• Received positive feedback from enrolled veterans on their consultation experience

You're a Fit If

• You're a U.S. military veteran (strongly preferred - you'll connect with prospects in ways others can't)
• You have sales, recruiting, or admissions experience - or strong customer-facing experience you can translate
• You understand military education benefits or are eager to learn the veteran education benefit landscape quickly
• You genuinely want to help fellow veterans succeed - this isn't just a job, it's a mission
• You're organized and self-directed - you manage your pipeline without micromanagement
• You handle objections with patience - career change is scary, and you get that
• You actively seek coaching and feedback - our best performers are always improving

Bonus Points

• Experience working with veteran populations or military transition programs
• Familiarity with veteran education benefits
• Background in EdTech, career services, or training enrollment
