As a Veteran, I understand making that transition can be difficult. As part of this group, I provide training and assist transitioning military personnel on their journey to find civilian jobs. My goal is to help a fellow Veteran make the right connection which to me can make all the difference in the world.Project Transition USA is an organization dedicated to helping transitioning military veterans & their families find meaningful and rewarding civilian careers. All members of our LinkedIN group work together to utilize the powerful networking & job search technology of LinkedIN in support of this goal.In addition to managing this group, Project Transition USA was the first to conduct a LinkedIN Job Search Workshop on a U.S. military base (MacDill Air Force Base, Home of U.S. Central Command -- Nov. 16, 2012). They have been conducting free monthly workshops on MacDill ever since, and plan to expand these trainings to every military base in the country.We invite you to show your support by participating in our group and hiring U.S. veterans at every opportunity!Join our group here: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/Project-Transition-USA-4842096/about To learn more about Project Transition USA, visit: www.ProjectTransitionUSA.org
