Veterans Fitness Career College seeks to create Jobs for Veterans and a Healthier America. Costa Mesa, CA � April 18, 2012 � In a booming wellness industry, Veterans Fitness Career College (VFCC), a Service-connected Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, provides veterans and their dependents top-notch fitness education and apprenticeships programs along direct job placement with hundreds of VFC College�s health club career partners. What follows for our veterans is a rewarding career focused on making America healthier. �Clearly the entire country is struggling with challenges of being overweight and under employed, which is why I became a Fitness Trainer 22 years ago,� says Chris Paschane, Founder and President of VFC College. Paschane adds, �In fact, one out of every three American adults is now considered overweight and about 1 in 10 are currently unemployed. But, I feel we have an even bigger problem with our military veterans,� says Paschane. With passion, Paschane adds, �There are over 870,000 unemployed veterans as we speak. About 18% of veterans, within one to three years of discharge, are finding themselves unemployed despite actively seeking employment. The 25% who do find jobs are earning less than $22,000 a year on average. Many of these veterans are suffering from combat related stress, anxiety and depression. They need our help to transition into a career where they can find support, stability, and vitality. This is our primary mission at the Veterans Fitness Career College,� As a viable career option many veterans have already chosen to pursue a career in fitness which shows average earnings above �$53,000 annually�, says Paschane. Trainers who build their business and sales skills may also move on to become Fitness Managers that will often make 2- 3 times this amount nearing $100,000 - $150,000 or more in some health clubs. Differentiating themselves from the market, Veterans Fitness Career College boasts a 100% veteran faculty and a 100% veteran staff, most of which have 80-100% service-connected disabilities. �Veterans Fitness Career College is a community of caring and motivated veterans with extensive experience in the fitness industry who are helping our fellow transitioning veterans and their dependents get healthy as they start a rewarding and sustainable career in the fitness industry. The result is more jobs for our veterans and a healthier America,� says Paschane. Paschane is a service-connected disabled USAF Gulf War Veteran who has more than 22 years of success in almost every aspect of the fitness industry (e.g. a Gym Owner, Fitness Educator, Public Speaker, Regional Fitness Manager, National Top Producer and highly sought out Fitness Trainer by celebrities, professional athletes and UFC MMA Fighters. �I founded the Veterans Fitness Career College because it was a natural progression of my journey to combine my passion for fitness along with my commitment to help veterans,� says Paschane who comes from a long family line of military veterans in all branches of service dating back to the Civil War.
