Warner Robins, Ga. – The Georgia Veterans Education Career Transition Resource (VECTR) Center marked its 10-year anniversary in 2026, making this Veterans Day a special reminder of partnership and collaboration that built it as a premier location for education and training for veterans and their families.
“If it weren’t for the VECTR Center, I wouldn’t be who I am today, “said Montavious Taylor, said Montavious Taylor, a VECTR Center alumnus. “They definitely laid the foundation for me to be able to keep going with my education and have the mindset that nothing is unachievable.”
The foundation, Taylor speaks of is the Center’s commitment to education, career training and support services for veterans, transitioning service members, and their families.
The VECTR Center was established in 2016, and at its location in Warner Robins, it serves as a centralized access point for individuals moving from military service into the civilian workforce.
Since 2016, the VECTR Center has provided more than 250,00 services to active-duty service members, veterans, and their families.
Services at the Center include:
- Career counseling and employment assistance
- Resume development and interview preparation
- Educational advising and transcript evaluation
- Accelerated training programs
- Assistance with veterans’ education benefits
- Entrepreneurship training and support
- Connections to housing, health care, financial and legal resources
- Referrals to Georgia’s public colleges and universities
Central Georgia Technical College (CGTC) operates the Georgia VECTR Center to provide education and workforce training in high-demand fields. The center also works with state agencies, community organizations, employers, and other partners to expand resources available to Georgia’s military-connected population.
“The VECTR Center is a fantastic example of teamwork in Middle Georgia that happens day in and day out,” said Col. (Ret.) Don Layne, the VECTR Center’s Chief Operating Officer. “We continue that here by focusing on veterans and ensuring they have the resources for successful transition.”
As part of the 10-year anniversary observance, CGTC and the VECTR Center worked with David Collins Media to produce a video explaining the development of the VECTR Center and its role in supporting veterans and their families. The video highlights the center’s origins, partnerships, and continuing work in education, employment, and career transition.
