Defense Activity for Education Support

The Defense Activity for Education Support provides free education and career-planning programs for U.S. armed forces members. DANTES programs help service members throughout their military career and transition to civilian life.

DANTES manages defense voluntary education programs to keep the services from duplicating efforts. Programs help service members achieve education goals, advance in careers and ease the transition to civilian life.

Transitioning service members can explore high-demand careers that support national defense and connect military experience to career paths. Fields include cybersecurity and information technology, engineering, health care, manufacturing and skilled trades and more.
