Who We Serve

Military Veterans

Military veterans face significant hurdles in workforce integration, with 69% identifying job search challenges and 60% struggling to translate military skills into civilian roles (Oregon State University, 2023 ↗; Hill & Ponton, 2024 ).

Furthermore, studies reveal that many veterans experience lower earnings and reduced job satisfaction compared to civilians, with some taking up to four months to secure employment (VFW/OnePoll, 2023 ; Prudential, 2023 ).

Military Spouses

Military spouses frequently encounter employment disruptions due to frequent relocations and career interruptions, with data showing that 21% of active-duty spouses were unemployed in 2021 (Office of People Analytics, 2021 ; Military Spouse Career Journeys Study, 2019 ).

In addition, research indicates that civilian employers often view military spouses as less flexible hires, complicating their efforts to secure stable employment (UK Employer Perceptions Study, 2020 ).

Young Adults

Young adults face significant barriers when entering the workforce, with global trends showing that about 13% of youths are unemployed and many struggle with regional disparities in job recovery (International Labour Organization, 2024 ; Georgetown Center on Education and the Workforce, 2022 ).

Moreover, research highlights that many young adults experience a mismatch between their career interests and available opportunities, compounded by skill gaps and concerns about interview readiness (GBC-Education/Deloitte, 2019 ; McKinsey, 2022 ).

We serve military veterans, military spouses, and young adults by offering practical, tailored coaching that helps each group build a strong foundation for success.
