It’s time to move beyond being ‘military-friendly’ and take the next step: becoming truly military-ready. Understanding the challenges veterans face while transitioning out of active service and into civilian careers is critical to successfully onboarding, engaging, and retaining US veterans. In this webinar Military Connected will dive into these topics, in order to help attendees take the first step towards properly serving America’s military-connected community. An open Q&A will be conducted at the end of the webinar to answer any questions, or provide further insight.
