About The Company
Military Veterans struggle to quantify their unique experience into a powerful value proposition to civilian employers...we know because we have been there done that. But Veterans have a unique skill set that directly translates to project management, regardless of their particular military occupational specialty or rank. The problem is that most Veterans don't realize that this equals project management experience or know how to capitalize on it to build a solid bridge to a lucrative post-service career as a Project Manager. Who we are: We are a Veteran Owned company, and our employees are affiliated with the military in various ways. We only took off the uniform, not our oath to our brothers and sisters; not one of them gets left behind. What we do: We help Military Service Members, Veterans & Professionals achieve Meaningful, Lucrative Careers by: 1. Inspiring them with a clear, meaningful, lucrative end-state as a career project, human resources, cyber security, or general manager. 2. Training them to deliver project and operational success and obtain associated management credentials. 3. Preparing them for CIVDIV reintegration with the DOD SkillBridge Program, professional resumes, interview skills, and social media savvy. 4. Placing them into meaningful, lucrative careers. Services Available: - We Help Military Service Members & Veterans Achieve Meaningful, Lucrative Post-Service Careers by offering: - Certification Training and Preparation (PMP®, PMI-ACP®, CAPM®, PSM™, aPHR®, Sec+®, CM®, & custom training upon request) - DoD Approved SkillBridge Program Management --We can host your program and residents - Talent Services for Corporate America - Career Services for Job Seekers
