VETERANS CAREER TRANSITION PROGRAM (VCTP)

Transitioning from the military to careers in civilian business/industry, government and other careers often presents two challenges:

  • How to translate education, experience, skills and training from a military to civilian environment to be a competitive candidate for recruitment and hiring?

  • How to develop the soft skills necessary to succeed in a civilian corporate or government environment, particularly in business sectors not closely connected to the military?
The Veterans Career Transition Program, operated by the Institute for Veterans and Military Families at Syracuse University, is delivered at no cost to post-9/11 veterans, their spouses, and spouses of active duty military. Paid for in entirety by a grant from JPMorgan Chase & Co, VCTP offers solutions to the above challenges, as well as connections to specific education and training programs, business/industry coalitions focused on veteran employment and information about national and state-level opportunities and benefits for veterans and their families. The Professional Skills Track and the Tech Track are offered through an advisor-led group admitted quarterly, and the Independent Study Track is available for start at any time. Each track is described below.
Through online courses—accessible from any location, at any time-participants have the opportunity to gain an understanding and insight into the corporate culture of civilian business/industry, government and other civilian sector
