Very insightful report from LinkedIn which also provides individual summaries for employers, veterans, and policymakers. One of the key takeaways is that, "Veterans are less likely to reach leadership roles than nonveterans, and companies generally do not value military experience the same way they count work experience in non-military roles"I recognize coming into a new industry, military folks will typically need to "learn the ropes" of a new organization so you may not start as a Director or VP. But I was surprised to read that veterans are less likely to reach those ranks.-âť“- I'm curious if any of you have specific examples of this in your post military careers?#veteranemployment #militarytransition

LinkedIn data shows that US veterans are technically skilled and highly educated, yet they're half as likely as nonveterans to reach director or vice president leadership roles in the civilian workforce. The crux of the issue? The systemic undervaluing of military experience in the corporate sector. The 2023 Veteran Opportunity Report investigates veteran underemployment and other challenges that remain a reality for those who choose military service, as well as opportunities that exist within this talent pool. Gain an overview of the current state of veteran employment in the U.S. and discover insights to help you shape a better future for veterans — benefiting this community, employers, and the economy as a whole.

Transitioning from military service to civilian life can be challenging, especially when leaving your first job. Even with preparation, the transition may not go as smoothly as planned. However, stumbling along the way is okay because our first job may not be our forever job. What matters most is finding an organization that values our contributions and skills. As veterans, we bring unique skills, dedication, and a commitment to excellence to the table. Let's embrace the journey and seek out opportunities where our strengths shine. Together, we can make a lasting impact in our communities. Here's to finding our place and thriving in our next chapter! #MilitaryTransition #CareerJourney #NewBeginnings
