“Employment services: forcesunited's employment services assists transitioning service members, veterans, and their spouses with all- encompassing employment needs. This program operates from two angles, working with both emplyers as well as our veteran clients. We cultivate community relationships and educate employers on the benefits and incentives for hiring veterans. Forcesunited boosts awareness of the advantages of hiring veterans and the value that their knowledge, skills and experience lend to workplaces. We assist with talent acquisition by providing employers with qualified candidates for their job openings. Simultaneously, we seek employers who are willing to work with homeless and previously incarcerated populations and help those veterans to secure the positions. From the other angle, forcesunited provides veterans with one- on-one advocacy to assist them with job seeking readiness, resume assistance, interview skills, career development, and gainful employment. Aside from individual talent acquisition and case management, forcesunited also provides opportunities to bring our veteran clients in front of community partners in a professional development environment using employment transistion boot camps. These boot camps serve more warriors concurrently in all stages of employment needs. The boot camps provide valuable up to date information and best practces from local hr professionals covering areas such as resume writing, skills and strength identification and prioritization, social media importance, linkedin profiles, interview skills, and wage negotiation, as well as providing professional headshots by an on-site photographer. Transition and reintegration (t&r) program: our t&r program serves hundreds of warriors each year, connecting them with solutions for utilizing their health care benefits, education benefits and for finding meaningful employment and maintaining stable housing. These vital services are readily available because of forcesunited's many partnerships with businesses, institutions of higher education, social service agencies, and with the local va and military installation. Our t&r advocates facilitate this proactive program of engaging warriors across the various stages of transitioning out of the military as wll as helping to alleviate the fear and stress often associated with the many levels of reintegration into civilian life.”
