Why Do We Help Veterans, Military Spouses, and Young Adults?

Veterans

Military veterans face significant hurdles in workforce integration, with 69% identifying job search challenges and 60% struggling to translate military skills into civilian roles.* 

Furthermore, studies reveal that many veterans experience lower earnings and reduced job satisfaction compared to civilians, with some taking up to four months to secure employment.**

 
 

Military Spouses

Military spouses often encounter employment disruptions due to frequent relocations and career interruptions, with data showing that 21% of active-duty spouses were unemployed in 2021.***

In addition, research indicates that civilian employers often view military spouses as less flexible hires, complicating their efforts to secure stable employment.****

 

Young Adults

Young adults face significant barriers when entering the workforce, with global trends showing that about 13% of youths are unemployed, and many struggle with regional disparities in job recovery.*****

Moreover, research highlights that many young adults experience a mismatch between their career interests and available opportunities, compounded by skill gaps and concerns about interview readiness.#
