Allied Vocational Rehabilitation School addresses the needs of injured workers and provides them with the means to re-enter the workforce in promising careers, while helping counselors manage their cases in this tough economy. Alex Calderon, Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC), says, "Allied's large number of programs and their ability to provide remote training in rural areas and across the border in Mexico has provided our clients with vocational alternatives that otherwise they would not have."
People might not know that Workers' Compensation benefits exist for injured workers and that there is up to $10,000 available to them for re-training. Allied serves as a bridge between students and their new careers by addressing benefit questions and matching them with online training in high-demand careers. The benefits provide the means for injured workers to enroll in a course and return to work fast in stable, relevant careers - putting then at an advantage in the current job market.
"For employees that have been injured, it can be challenging for them to take the first step and get re-trained in a new career," said George Achenbach, president of Allied Schools. "At Allied, we want to make the voc rehab process easier and guide students every step of the way - from understanding their Workers' Compensation benefits to entering the job market with marketable skills. We also want to ease the burden of counselors."
Today's competitive job market requires highly sought-after career skills. Allied offers 20+ career-training courses in medical, real estate and business - with available medical coding, medical transcription and solar technology training that will be in high demand due to the new American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Courses, such as medical billing, real estate salesperson, home inspection, property management and private investigation, can be completed in as little as six months and lend themselves to opportunities nationwide. Allied's representatives are bilingual and courses available in Spanish make career training an option for all students.
On Track Personal Service (OTPS) partners students with an Academic Advisor. Through this unique collaboration, students are given the tools to successfully complete their programs in a timely manner, with regular phone calls and personalized support. Counselors are constantly informed of their progress with weekly progress reports. Layne Guinnane, Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) says, "The On-Track Personal Service sets this school apart from all other home-based training programs. I have found the results I have achieved through Allied for my clients to be equal to or superior to many site-based schools."
To make a smooth transition back into the workplace, Allied has created the Job Assistance Network (JANET), a four-week course that provides students with the skills to conduct a successful job search. Included with their career training, the program teaches students learn how to write an effective cover letter and resume, uncover job leads and network with industry professionals - with the intention to provide valuable job search skills that lead to rewarding and stable employment.
"The bottom line is that we care about our students and want to see them succeed," said Achenbach. "We know that they have been faced with difficult circumstances and our top priority is helping them get back to work and earning a paycheck as soon as possible."
The career-training programs, personalized support and job assistance give students all of the benefits of a traditional school with the convenience of learning at home. Online courses put career training within reach, regardless or circumstance or location, and enables students to study anytime in a comfortable setting. Students get retrained and back to work, and counselors have peace of mind that their cases are being properly managed and resolved - the ideal outcome for everyone.

Laguna Hills, Calif. - April 1, 2008 - Allied Schools made a large donation of tape recorders and software to the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Ana valued at approximately $32,000. More than 4,000 underprivileged and promising children who participate in educational programs at the Club will benefit from Allied's generous contribution.
"With the help from caring individuals like you (Allied), the Club can continue to enhance its programs like homework help, computer literacy and job training, and other programs that enable our youth to learn valuable skills necessary to be successful in our competitive world," said Kathy Brown, interim executive director for the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Ana.
Allied Schools, nationally accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC), believes an education should be within reach to all who seek one out. That's why Allied created a unique online experience where students obtain the top-level education they desire in a self-paced and affordable manner.
"Everyone should have the opportunity for an education," said George Achenbach, president and CEO of Allied Schools. "We're proud to be affiliated with an organization like the Boys & Girls Club. They mirror Allied's own company culture by providing a rewarding experience that instills confidence and inspires people to do great things."
With educational programs that cater to children as young as six all the way up to helping young adults with graduation requirements, Allied's contribution supports the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Ana in continuing their much-needed mission.
Brown whole-heartedly agrees. "Thank you for your generosity, time and investment in our youth."

Laguna Hills, Calif. - March 14, 2008 - American service members deployed across the globe will soon get a taste of home as they receive care packages courtesy of a California-based military school online.
Allied Schools recently collaborated with the non-profit organization Operation Military Pride, which has been helping to send care packages to deployed-service members since 1995.
Allied Schools sent out over 300 care packages containing in-demand items like sun screen, lip balm, beef jerky, Ibuprofen, breakfast cereal and hot sauce - products that service members in countries like Iraq have found to be especially helpful and comforting.
The care packages were filled and boxed up by Allied Schools' staff at their Southern California headquarters in mid-March and then sent overseas. Service members receiving the care packages will also have the opportunity to win a laptop computer each month until June.
"We've been fortunate to enroll over 10,000 service members in the last four years," said George Achenbach, president, Allied Schools. "The care packages are our way of saying 'thank you' to the men and women who serve this nation."
Allied Schools is an important resource for service members because they can take a course while deployed simply by logging onto a computer; Allied offers both military and civilian students career training in the medical field, business and real estate. Allied also offers military spouse scholarships.
Allied's Military Family Scholarship Program offers education benefits for military spouses: when a service member enrolls at Allied using Tuition Assistance, their spouse or dependent trains at no charge. The hope is that no-tuition career training will lead to jobs for military spouses.
