RecruitMilitary, the country’s leading company empowering veterans by connecting them with career opportunities, announced its partnership with the US Department of Labor’s Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (VETS) to bring career resources and opportunities to transitioning military service members and their spouses through the inaugural Employment Navigator and Partnership Pilot Initiative.
Through this newly formed partnership, RecruitMilitary and eight other non-government organizations will serve as resources for Employment Navigators who directly assist transitioning service members, and their spouses, one-on-one with employment related assistance, which include self-assessments, career exploration, identification of high-demand occupations and necessary credentials, and analyzing detailed local labor market information. Based upon an individual participant’s needs, Employment Navigators then connect them with partner organizations that can provide additional employment-related services designed to facilitate their transition from the military.
