Delaware Tech to offer military aptitude testing in Dover
Delaware Technical Community College has announced a new partnership with the Department of Defense that will allow Delawareans wishing to enter the military the opportunity to take the Armed Forces Vocational Aptitude Battery test at Del Tech’s campus in Dover. Prior to this new memorandum of understanding, Delawareans had to travel to New Jersey or Maryland for testing.
“In addition to significant cost savings for the Department of Defense, this provides a local option for Delawareans who want to join our armed forces,” said Delaware Tech President Mark T. Brainard. “We’re honored to have been named a Military Friendly School for the third year in a row, and we continue to explore new initiatives that demonstrate the college’s commitment to support our veterans and their families.”
Maj. Gen. Carol Timmons, adjutant general of the Delaware National Guard, said, “This effort is an example of the great partnership we share with Delaware Tech. Having a testing center in Dover is an incredible benefit, not just for the Delaware National Guard, but for all branches of military service in Delaware.”
As a result of this partnership agreement, Delaware Tech will provide a testing center with 16-20 workstations every Friday from 12 to 3 p.m. The Military Entrance Processing Station in Baltimore will provide test proctors for the ASVAB, which is the first step in enlisting in the Marine Corps, Army, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard, National Guard, or Reserves.
