The document discusses challenges that both employers and veterans face in connecting veterans with civilian jobs after military service. It outlines that employers struggle with understanding veterans' transferable skills, complying with regulations, and addressing cultural assimilation. Meanwhile, veterans have difficulties translating their military experience and skills to civilian resumes and job opportunities. The second half then introduces TalentRISE as a consulting firm that helps employers improve their veteran recruitment and hiring practices through services like skills translation, compliance support, and education.

the Military into Civilian Employment:
Since 2001, more than 2.8 million military personnel have
made the transition frommilitary to civilian life. Veterans
cite transitioning their military skills to civilian jobs as
their greatest hurdle to securing employment.
Traditional resume and job matching strategies do not
work for Veterans
 Most need resume writing & job search skills training
 Biggest challenge is translating military skills into
civilian career opportunities and corporate recruiters
not trained to interpret their transferrable skills
3 out of 5 Veterans report challenges with cultural
assimilation into civilian corporate cultures
 Results in high turnover if poorly on-boarded into a
new job and corporate culture
 Two thirds report they are facing health challenges and
express concerns about employers inability to
accommodate them
