Human resource (HR) managers in the civilian world are often baffled by the job language spoken by the military; many of them don’t know what a DD214 form is or why it is so important to veterans. Therefore, private-sector HR staff sometimes need to be educated by veterans about the value of their military training and experience, and why it is relevant to the jobs they are seeking.

I had the pleasure of participating in the Veterans/American Legion Transition Workshop and it was a rewarding and inspiring experience. Kris Urbauer did a fantatic job leading the workshop and has prepared a great presentation to kick off the one-on-one coaching. The Veterans are extremely grateful and get material and advice to enable them to transition into a civilian job. Thanks to GE for supporting Veterans and to Kris and all the Veterans who helped!
