Myth: I have to know exactly what I want to study before using CH36, Personalized Career Planning and Guidance (PCPG) benefits
Fact: Not at all! PCPG counselors can help you explore different career options and identify your strengths and interests. It's okay to be unsure – that's what the program is for!

FY25 Education Needs Assessment. The education needs assessment is a continuous and systematic analysis of the Army's requirements for educational programs at the installation level and Army wide. Assessment results provide data integral to the Army's planning and budgeting process and are intended to determine whether new education programs or services are needed on an installation. Please scan the QR code and help support this effort to improve our VolEd program.

Spring into action and request your next credential or licensure! Choose from any of the credentials listed in Army COOL. Then make your request in ArmyIgnitED! Remember first time users must complete the MilGEARS assessment and CA 101 Training before creating an education goal.
