VET² - Military Transitions to the Workforce

Course Description

The transition into a new career is one of the most challenging and stressful times in the professional lives of service members and veterans. Transitions are a period of acute vulnerability, because new employees lack established working relationships and a detailed understanding of how their role aligns with the new organization’s culture. The Georgia Tech Veterans Education Training and Transition (VET2) - Workforce Integration course provides a blueprint for dramatically condensing the time it takes a veteran to successfully integrate into the civilian workplace, regardless of their military rank, time in service or occupational skillset. This Veterans Education Training and Transition (VET2) - Workforce Integration online course examines the military to civilian transition hurdle that is reflected in the unemployment rates for post-9/11 veterans. It teaches a refined methodology for gathering and processing information from the job search and allows students to develop a clearly defined construct for comparing organizations.
