Do any groups specialize in helping military veterans transition to civilian jobs? I'm looking for resources to support a family member who is a veteran and hoping to find stable employment. Any recommendations or past experiences would be appreciated!
There are indeed organizations dedicated to helping military veterans transition to civilian jobs. Here are three that come to mind:
1. American Corporate Partners (ACP): This non-profit organization provides veterans with professional mentorship opportunities. Veterans are paired with corporate professionals who could offer guidance and help them navigate the civilian job market.
2. Hire Heroes USA: This group provides free job search assistance to U.S. military veterans and their spouses. They offer personalized career coaching, assistance with resumes and cover letters, and interview prep to help veterans secure employment.
3. U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA): The VA's Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment program assists veterans with service-connected disabilities to find suitable employment by offering a variety of services, including job training, resume development, and job seeking skills coaching.
Do let your family member know about these organizations! It's great that you're providing support during their transition. They're likely to find several resources available to help them land a solid civilian job.
