RecruitMilitary Partners with US Department of Labor to Bring Employment Training and Expertise to Transitioning Service Members and Military Spouses

CHESAPEAKE, Va., Sept. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- RecruitMilitary, the country's leading company empowering veterans by connecting them with career opportunities, announced today 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.

RecruitMilitary provides a variety of pathways utilizing virtual and in-person capabilities for veterans to find great careers with competitive pay. The organization's partnership with US Department of Labor VETS program allows veterans to access a direct source of support at the onset and duration of the civilian career seeking and building journey.

"The inaugural Employment Navigator service synergizes our desire to directly impact the career seeking and building opportunities of military trained job seekers.
