The Problem

  • Over-reliance on MOS translators limits career options of many veterans ​
  • Lack of coherent, results-driven transition support leaves veterans to fend for themselves.
  • Fragmented services provision leads to missed goals and wasted effort.  

  • Lack of ready access to multiple career options 

Our Approach

  • Provide employers with tools that allow them to "hire for aptitude and train for skills." ​
  • Open ecosystem that encourages and rewards information sharing
    ​
  • ​Career Readiness training that involves employers and volunteer professionals. 

  • Career On-Ramps allow veterans to test their aptitude for new careers and demonstrate to employers their fitness and determination

Tools and Resources Supporting Your Veteran Clients' Success

  • ​VetMatch captures, and communicates to employers, veterans' job-related personality traits that that predict job success far more reliably than do resumes or MOS translators.  VetMatch accommodates growing need by employers to hire for aptitude and train for skills. 

  • Job Market Readiness Training.

  • Workplace Readiness Training.  Free courses to prepare transitioning veterans for life in the civilian workplace.  Modules include Career Coaching, Resume Preparation, Professional Networking, Job Search and Interviewing Skills.  
    ​
  • Career On-Ramps.  On-line, self led training modules designed to let veterans "test drive" careers in high growth areas and prepare them for additional career support.  
  • Supported Career Launch.  Seasoned professionals complement V2W's tools, resources and employer network with individualized support focused on helping the veteran land a job in his/her chosen field.  

  • Workplace Learning / OJT Programs.  While formal training is necessary, it s far from sufficient to qualify for a real job.  Workplace learning provides a supportive environment within which veterans can apply what they know in real world conditions.  Workplace learning consists of "job shadowing," on-the-job training and internships.   

  • Placement Assistance.   Thanks to our extensive network of professionals, we help veterans connect with target employers.
    ​
  • Information Sharing.  As a partner, you will receive information about your sponsored vet's progress.  For example, if they land a job, we'll let you know.

How it works

Receive veteran's Success Profile
The veteran completes his/her Success Profile, receives a Personalized Career Report and VetMatch profile, made available to employers interested potential.   

​VetMatch complements the standard resume by documenting qualities that predict success in a specific jog.  A copy of the veteran's Success Profile is provided to you to guide delivery of most appropriate support path.
