You can prepare yourself for your post-Navy career by participating in the Navy College Program (NCP). Make sure that you consider the NCP while you're still in the Navy, because the NCP is primarily geared towards enlisted sailors.
Why is the Navy College Program Important?The NCP shows the Navy's commitment towards its sailors by supporting the four R's: recruiting, readiness, retention and respect. This lets people who are considering joining the Navy know that it looks out for its own. It gives appeal towards enlisting in the Navy, it demonstrates the Navy's service towards its members and it shows how to achieve a college degree from compatible Navy experience.
How the NCP Prepares You for Post Navy Career OpportunitiesThe aim of the NCP is to provide opportunities for sailors to earn college degrees by giving them academic credit for Navy training, work experience and off-duty education. This means that the men and women who are in the Navy will be able to get a college degree while on active duty through the NCP.
That translates into making you a better candidate for future employment after the Navy because having a background in the Navy is good, but having a background with the Navy and having a college degree is even better.
Making Yourself Marketable for Career Opportunities with the NCPThe NCP will help sailors apply themselves in new and unique situations, challenges and better prepare them for advancement by increasing a sailor's self-image. In the end, this will produce sailors of a higher quality.
The workforce is constantly evolving and looking for better candidates. If you're a sailor, you should take every opportunity to increase your skills and better prepare yourself for life outside of the service. When you participate in the Navy College Program you'll increase your skills for the Navy, but you'll also make yourself more marketable to the workforce once you're done with your service.
