Approximately 45% of veterans believe that the military did not adequately prepare them for life post-service (PRC). The challenge lies in translating the acquired skills from a military context to a language suitable for the business world, where they are not explicitly trained in how to articulate their extensive expertise. An estimated 50,000 US veterans are homeless on any given day throughout our nation. Additionally, about 7% of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans are unemployed, nearly twice the national average. When speaking to CBS News, veterans stated that there is a lack of resources to prepare them to know how to enter the workforce. Despite developing many soft skills, they often lack guidance on effectively conveying their abilities to employers, preventing them from finding employment.
