Honoring and empowering our veterans through personalized career paths

Transitioning from military to civilian life can be both exciting and challenging. Unfortunately, for over one in ten veterans (12%), it took at least one year to find a job after leaving the military. Also troubling is more than four in ten veterans (44%) left that first job within one year and eight in ten left within two years. This is not a sustainable path. We must do better to match the right career opportunity with the impressive skills veterans have.

AstrumU understands the unique skills and experiences veterans bring to the table and are here to support your journey. We offer to transitioning service members a free solution we call SkillSet, which matches meaningful career paths that align with each individual’s expertise and interests. SkillSet provides skills-matching intelligence tailored to each person.

"I have been able to see where my military skills can translate into real, private sector jobs in such an easy format. I have only scratched the surface of this tool and I can already tell this is something I wish I could give this to every one of my soldiers before they leave the military."
— Dan M.

 

We want to share our resources and help to ensure you are able to articulate your skills effectively to potential employers. We want to help you navigate, more confidently, the civilian job market.

 

"I wish I had known about [SkillSet] before I even started my Skillbridge program. Having spent most of my life in the military, finding out what interests me in the private sector has been a hurdle all on its own. If I had known about this tool at the beginning of the Hiring Our Heros process it would have saved me days of time and research."
— Dan M.

 

Reach out, let us thank you personally for your service and introduce you to SkillSet - it will cost you nothing but your time - which provides support to you, a valued veteran.
