Career Support for

Veterans and Active Military Students

Your military service has equipped you with valuable skills, discipline, and real-world experience that are highly transferable to careers in the civilian workforce. However, we understand that civilian employers may not always speak the same language or fully grasp the scope of your training. That’s where we come in. The Career Development Center is here to help you translate your military experience into clear, compelling language that resonates with non-military employers. Explore the resources below to get started, and reach out to connect with one of our Career Advisors—we’re here to support you every step of the way on your career journey.
