Know any vets looking for a dream job?

Then IAVA has something for you to share – our brand new Career Pathfinder!

We know firsthand that transitioning from combat to civilian life can be tough, especially when it comes to charting a path towards a new career.

From translating military skills to civilian language, to finding employers who value a veteran’s background, to navigating the countless college options on the New GI Bill, there’s no shortage of roadblocks for our men and women coming home.

To help pave their way, IAVA, Cisco Systems and Futures, Inc. are excited to announce a new online employment tool exclusively for IAVA Veterans.

It’s a total game changer for our community. Designed to assist returning vets to obtain empowering employment – from anywhere – some of its many features include:
Thousands of job listings from employers looking to hire veterans – and ONLY veterans
A resume builder like nothing you’ve ever used!
A career mapping tool to chart a course through college or technical school, if needed
A military-to-civilian skills translator to explain military jobs to civilians
Access to IAVA’s other best-in-class education and employment resources to fill the gaps
These perks make the Career Pathfinder unlike any other online job resource out there for vets. No one tool is going to solve veteran unemployment, but we know that the Career Pathfinder is about the closest thing out there.

Thanks for passing it along,
Paul
