Warrior Transition

Within the next year the U.S. military will be implementing a 150,000-170,000 drawdown of active service personnel. These warriors will return to a very weak US job market, after being discharged through an accelerated military process that does little to prepare them for the civilian workplace. This combination of a poor job market, and being largely unprepared, is a double whammy that will lead to disillusionment and failure. There is already an unfortunate trend which is that many veterans go on unemployment for 12-18 months before they even try to move into the workplace. This only lengthens their time away from the job market and makes it even more difficult to find a good job and start building their career.  Warrior Transition wants to help change this trend, and significantly broaden the choices returning veterans have, by giving them the training and the confidence to become self-employed entrepreneurs. Giving returning veterans this option, to become masters of their own career and economic fate, will be a historic first for all returning warriors.  To provide this much needed support we created the WARRIOR TRANSITION GETTING ENTREPRENEURIAL PROGRAM (WTGE).
