Managing your transition from active military service to civilian life is an acquired skill—just like anything you learned during your service time. When you joined the Navy and ultimately became a Machinist’s Mate you knew nothing about launching systems or performing underwater maintenance on ordnance. You learned your skills through progressive education and practice, becoming proficient—as you moved on to Torpedoman’s Mate. You will follow a similar successful path with this program.
As you progress through this course you will learn the skills necessary to present yourself, your skill sets, and their value to the civilian marketplace in such a way that you greatly increase the odds of your being hired for a job and career that interests you.
In recent years, you have the added benefit of businessmen waking up to the understanding that side-by-side–veterans seeking civilian jobs possess a greater sense of commitment, willingness to work hard, possess greater humility, team spirit and less entitlement than their civilian competitors for jobs. In the last few years, veteran unemployment has been a full point lower than the overall U.S. rate. This means more jobs for vets.
Later in this program after building some new skills, a section of this program will devote time to outlining how renewed interest in hiring vets, lightning-fast advances in Artificial Intelligence and broader acceptance of blue-collar careers is making the veterans’ job market much more attractive than in past years, and financially rewarding at all levels of careers available to serve the needs and interests of today’s veterans.
This program will progress differently than what you might be used to. Learning how others before you succeeded will be the core emphasis. Primarily because reviewing stories and tips form others encourages you to combine others’ ideas with your own so your success is yours—instead of following set patterns that may or may not fit your interests and personal style. As an added benefit Artificial intelligence (AI) will help gather information so you don’t have to dig down for answers. The program does that for you. All you have to do is make choices that are good for you. So, let’s get started!
