Free training available to area veterans

Military veterans, listen up.

Some 260 Internet-based training courses, from beginning computer class for novices to an in-depth curriculum that prepares students for Microsoft certification exams, are available free to Ohio veterans through AMVETS Career Centers in Vienna and Salem.

The classes are also free to active-duty personnel deployed outside Ohio and their spouses and children if they are Ohio residents until the active-duty member returns to Ohio. The program, funded by AMVETS Department of Ohio, a military veterans service organization, is also open to the general public for a fee.

The career centers in the tri-county area, among 65 in Ohio, are located at AMVETS Post 290, 290 Youngstown-Kingsville Road (state Route 193), Vienna; and at AMVETS Post 45, 750 S. Broadway Ave., Salem.
