A key benefit of the Veteran READY Certification and Training Program lies in its ability to address underlying factors that contribute to an alarming 43% of veteran turnover in their first year of employment (*). It also assists in creating a work environment where veterans feel valued, understood, and supported. Through comprehensive training and support in areas such as camaraderie, military-to-civilian transition challenges, mental health, and values alignment, businesses will be equipped with the right tools to create a work culture that encompasses the unique needs of veterans.

The Veteran READY Certification and Training Program also presents a unique opportunity for civilian employers to foster an environment that not only recognizes the valuable skills and experiences that veterans bring but also actively supports their successful integration into the workforce.
