Veterans are so essential to the workforce, not only domestically but internationally as well. Their special skills, experiences, and training bring added benefits to any organization. Transitioning out of the military can be a scary and difficult task, to say the least. For the many years that they served, Veterans haven’t experienced what the transitioning period of leaving the service brings to the forefront. There isn’t a guaranteed 1st and 15th paycheck, and no healthcare for yourself and your family any longer, unless you retired (20 years or more served or you are medically retired from the military). Veterans must move their families to a location that they deem fit for success in employment, education, and housing. The most important aspect of transitioning is finding constant employment to be able to survive in the civilian world. This “30 Minutes of Excellence Session” was facilitated by Antwon Jacobs and discusses the importance of supporting transitioning service members and strategies to support them through their journey.
