Why We Do It

Every day, service members, veterans, and spouses face significant challenges transitioning from the military to civilian careers. From defining the right job/career, to translating skills, finding meaningful employment, navigating corporate culture, adjusting to a new work environment and more, there are many hurdles to overcome. These hurdles can cause significant concerns, up to and including suicide.  

Employers face an ongoing war for talent. They are often unaware of how to best engage with military veteran talent that can bring great value to their organizations. This lack of awareness leads to reduced business performance.

VCJ is dedicated to bridging the gap between veterans and employers, reducing veteran suicide, and preparing all parties for success.

Our deep and broad experience in and out of uniform is unique. Our training and coaching approach is practical, immediately useful, and effective for both sides of the career transition engagement.

VCJ's services are 100% NO COST to service members, veterans, and spouses.
