Employment

Education - Including leading online learning platforms like Skillsoft, IBM SkillsBuild, and Coursera as well as the new 8-week course “Making Your Military Transition a Transformation”

Financial readiness

Increased access to relevant veterans’ benefits in their communities

Through the creation of an individualized action plan, USO Transition Specialists collaborate with individuals to identify their personal and professional goals and build a roadmap to achieving them, while also identifying services and resources that are the best fit for their needs. Additionally, this program offers support to plan for life after the military, connecting participants to valuable resources for a smooth transition to civilian life.

USO Transition Specialists provide these free services through one-on-one support (either virtually, or in-person) and help military families create a plan for success now – and for the future.
