There is good reason to post a third part to this series focusing on military transitions, the first of which is recognition of and respect for the vital services that members of our military provide.
Second, more good news for servicemembers comes down from the President by way of the VOW to Hire Heroes Act. Under this federally sponsored bill, veterans aged 35 – 60 can get additional training, education and employment benefits for up to 12 months, and employers can receive tax credits for hiring vets and service-connected disabled veterans.
Many partnerships are forming to take advantage of the VOW program, and to do right by our veterans. The Chamber of Commerce has identified one such partnership with Military.com and Monster.com. The result is a high-quality online skills translation tool paired with Monster’s powerhouse jobs databank. You can freely use the military skills translation tool without any registration requirement.
