Gold Military Friendly® School and Military Spouse Friendly® School designation supports shorter routes into healthcare, business, and skilled trades.

ERIE, Pa., Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Institute of Medical and Business Careers (IMBC) is reminding veterans, active-duty service members, and military spouses that its Erie, Pittsburgh, and online programs are built for adults who need a practical path into the workforce. IMBC holds the 2025–2026 Military Friendly® School Gold designation and is also recognized as a Military Spouse Friendly® School.

Programs combine classroom instruction with hands-on labs and, where required, clinicals or internships. Qualifying students have approved certification exam costs included in tuition.

"Many of the veterans and military spouses we work with are balancing family, work, and a career change at the same time," said Michael Euliano, President of IMBC. "Our S.P.A.R.K.™ model—Support, Pride, Awareness, Responsibility, and Knowledge—plus small classes and included certifications is designed to get them job-ready with a clear plan, not another long degree cycle."
