An area to get started with the VA mental health resources. You can explore by topic and find the support you need.

Quite possibly the most incredible resource I've run across since retiring. The O*Net OnLine Military Crosswalk page allows you to search (free of charge, I might add) by your branch of service and rating/MOS. The search results provide a summary report that you can use to translate your military profession to the civilian sector.

This website should be a go-to tool for you in your job search as it provides descriptions of tasks, tools used, knowledge, skills, and so much more. Often the reports look ready for resume use!

Give the O*Net OnLine Military Crosswalk a spin!

The VWI is an organization set up to provide assistance and referral services to wounded veterans and provide training in the watchmaking industry via a Watch Technician (6 weeks) and Watchmaker (16 months of training + 3 months of internship) Programs.

Watchmaker Program

I cannot stress this enough, if you are a disabled Veteran and are looking to learn a trade, give these programs a look.

Quick link to the VA Homeless Programs

-From the VA-

“Veterans who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness are strongly encouraged to contact the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans at (877) 4AID-VET (877-424-3838) for assistance.”

The PBC provides active duty service members, veterans, and their spouses with access to mentors, educational programming, and a robust community of experts and peers to help them innovate and build impactful businesses.

In 1946, Veterans Canteen Service (VCS) was established by law to provide comfort and well-being to America’s Veterans.

This benefit provides medically necessary improvements and structural alterations to Veterans/Servicemembers’ primary residence.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is developing innovative ways to help Veterans make the transition to college life.

Outreach Events

VA benefits can help Veterans and their families buy homes, earn degrees, start careers, stay healthy, and more. Join an event for conversation and information.
