The biggest challenge for military veterans who finish their tours of duty today is to make the transition into a peacetime career. Peacetime is not nearly so exciting as active duty, so it seems boring. And the skills of the military are not all transferable. Education is the key, especially about new technologies.

Absolutely correct! Here are two educational programs designed
for veterans.

do you know if some companies offer training and job opportunities for veterans?
There’s also the new FY 2014 Military Construction-VA Appropriations Act. The bill passed 421-4 and addressed claims backlog at the VA, PTSD issues facing Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, and provided funding for veterans’ medical programs.
There’s a new website that offers free help for veterans find good paying jobs. It’s called Badges for Veterans https://badgesforvets.org/index.php
I hope it helps many of our veterans find work.
Thanks for this post and website!
