COMBAT BOOTS TO HARD HATS - Helping Our Veterans Transition to Careers in Construction
Suzanne Bristol For a military member, the transition from their military career to a civilian career can be confusing. For many service members the only experience they have with an employer is what they have gained in the military, which can be difficult to translate into terms that a civilian employer can relate to. They may oversell certain skills, undersell others, and include jargon that is incomprehensible to an employer if the employer does not have familiarity with military jargon. In our November edition of the FLCC Newsletter, we explore what veterans and business owners can do to bridge the communication gap so both can pursue a possible match for employment.
