Many Veterans just like you struggle to find employment when entering the civilian workforce, despite having excellent skills and qualifications. Let us be the bridge for you and change these statistics around! Our specially designed program covers all of these areas and so much more!
Your career readiness depends on access to relevant and timely information as well as experiences that set you up for success during job searching and interviewing in the civilian world. We are here to teach you the language of the civilian workforce so you can enter this new arena and clearly communicate the true depth of value you bring.
Civilian employers often don’t connect the description on your resume to the job qualifications they are looking for. So your resume gets bypassed, leaving you frustrated and unemployed – but it doesn’t have to be this way. You also don’t want just any j-o-b, you want a career with purpose, a mission, and a team so you can continue to impact the world as you support yourself and your family.
MedTechVets support continues beyond graduation and the networking conference. It provides ongoing partnerships as you continue your career transition. Plus, you’re a MedTechVets Academy alumni now – you’re part of the team. You will be amazed at the growth and change that will happen within one year’s time.
