Military Hiring Accelerator is a mission based company focused on accelerating the bridge between transitioning veterans and corporations. This program starts by filling the missing pieces in each veteran's corporate experience and education that continues to enhance the long term career progression with a mentor program and industry specific training. MHA wants to make your military program more robust by the use of AI and Machine learning. In partnership with Switchpoint Ventures, MHA uses AI to help companies align their job descriptions with MOS, AFSC, and Ratings (veteran's job in the military) in order to build stronger more efficient military hiring programs for the corporation. MHA is also focused on the transitioning veteran career path. Partnered with a local Nashville based company, we are empowering the veterans to find the best civilian career path through an assessment through a proprietary algorithm that identifies aptitude and interests. This assessment then gives exposure to a multitude of career choices, the average salary, locations of hiring, as well as the training needed to get into the job.
