What does the Navy Cool funding support for Sailors?

The Navy COOL (Credentialing Opportunities On-Line) funding program is designed to support Sailors in pursuing professional certifications and continuing education that can enhance their career development and marketability within the military and civilian sectors. This initiative recognizes the importance of advanced skills and credentials in an increasingly competitive job market and enables service members to gain qualifications that may not only advance their military careers but also serve them in civilian life after service.

Continuing education encompasses a wide array of opportunities, including certification programs, training courses, and other educational resources that align with a Sailor's military job or career goals. By fostering this growth, Navy COOL contributes significantly to creating a more educated, skilled, and competent workforce within the Navy.

Other options, such as travel expenses, housing assistance, and medical benefits, do not fall under the purview of Navy COOL funding. While these areas are important aspects of Sailor support, they are governed by different programs and resources within the Navy.
