Veteran Turns Benefits into New Career
Maurice Johnson, an information systems engineering graduate from the Louisville Campus, works as a PC Support Technician for RX Crossroads where he solves information technology problems daily for over 100 “internal customers”—fellow employees who are under his care.
Maurice said that he didn’t always like computers. While working as an ammunition and munitions specialist in the US Army, he saw that computers were becoming an important part of the programs that they ran. “Then I realized—technology is booming and growing—we’ve got to get some people in there… that’s how I started the journey and learning,” he recalled.
After leaving the military, he was working as a civilian armed security guard on post at Ft Knox when the company that he was working for lost its contract and he found himself unemployed. He decided that it was time to return to school and to turn his interest in information technology into a career.
He qualified for educational assistance through the Veterans Vocational Rehabilitation (Chapter 31) Program. He looked at several schools but chose National College after touring the campus.
“The instructors were very informative, very friendly,” he said. He liked that the classes were small and hands-on and that there were a number of other veterans attending the school. “I had a good connection with a lot of the other veterans that were here,” he said.
When he was nearing the end of his program, he posted his resume on CareerBuilder.com and applied to IT positions at several local corporate offices. RX Crossroads contacted him. “I didn’t even get a chance to utilize the career center it happened so fast,” he explained.
He likes working with the infrastructure team at RX Crossroad and he also enjoys interacting with the employees that he assists. He hopes to someday work for the U.S. Government. He feels that his degree from National, combined with his people skills and his knowledge of IT will help him to do so. “The employers say ‘Do you have a degree to back up [the experience] you have?’ It gave me more oomph—a better chance of opening up doors,” he said.
