Bridging The Gaps
There are Silos of Services vs. Collaborative
Efforts
There are significant gaps between the military
branches and many US Employers concerning
workforce readiness assessment, skill definition,
job requirement relevancy, and the use of a
common language to communicate and bridge
relevant job qualifications.
These gaps create veteran talent and civilian
employment issues
