The National Veteran Employment Summit, hosted by The American Legion and Military.com, will bring together senior military and government officials, corporate HR leaders and professionals within the veterans’ community to address best practices for preparing, supporting and connecting veterans to the organizations that want to hire them.
Together, attendees will have the opportunity to candidly discuss the career landscape facing both veterans and employers, working through the challenges facing both parties in navigating the transition from the military to civilian employment.
The program is paced chronologically through the military transition process. First, looking at the effectiveness of the Transition Assistance Program (TAP). Then hearing from career development program managers and employers and lastly, addressing workplace accommodations aimed at talent retention.
Featured speakers include senior executives from the Department of Labor, Department of Veteran Affairs, representatives from large corporations and veteran advocates.
