We’d like to commemorate these special days by highlighting resources and links related to veterans, including a free career transition publication for veterans transitioning into civilian life. We’re also focusing on teacher/trainer tools you’ll be thankful for, whether you’re a veteran teacher, brand new, or somewhere in between.

Veterans in the Workplace: Understanding the Challenges and Creating Long-term Opportunities for Veteran Employees

Veterans face unique challenges as they transition to their first civilian jobs. For most veterans, their only work experience is the military and that service, unlike a civilian job, is highly structured with a very linear career progression. Many veterans don't know what they don't know about the civilian workforce. Identifying and quantifying these challenges are critical to the long-term success of veterans and the businesses that hire them. Armed with the right information, businesses can better recruit, hire, and retain veterans in their workforce.
