Military Hiring Accelerator for Transitioning Military Personnel
Transitions are typically uncertain and sometimes painful too!
This applies even more to the military transition to civilian life. The US Military and Armed Forces have the onerous task of safeguarding the territorial integrity of this great nation.
But oftentimes, military veterans end up at a career crossroads, especially at the time of exiting the service.
While the serviceman or woman may be very well geared for military operations, they may be riddled with questions on the cusp of retirement from military life; such as:
“Will my skills be valid in the civil domain after the transition?” Or, more importantly –
“Will my skills be valued in the civil domain?”
These questions and uncertainties often go unaddressed leaving the exiting military service members in a quandary.
There is undoubtedly a dire need for a dynamic Military Hiring Accelerator (i.e. MHA), and a competent Military Skills Bridge crew at OJT.com.
They can address and allay the concerns of exiting military men and women. This ensures a smooth transition to a well earned civilian life, after years of service to our nation.
So, how does the smooth military transition into civilian jobs work?
Overcoming Job Transition for Veterans with MHA
Well, MHA has a curated database of ex-military veterans with elements like qualifications, experience, and skillsets in place, for military hiring.
Registering the details with MHA is the first step in this entire military hiring and transition process.
MHA with its visionary industry veteran Mark Biga has extensive experience in military hiring and military transition with a sound knowledge of the industry resource requirements.
The goal is to ‘on-board’ the retiring military personnel about a year before their exit. Then, match them with jobs requiring their skill-set so there is a perfect match between the industry demands and their skills.
For this re-skilling, training experts at OJT.com play a critical role in bridging the skills gap and ensuring the right fit for our veterans and the civilian job of their choosing.
OJT.com helps identify the right methodologies, tools, techniques, vocational training, and apprenticeship programs to bring-to-light over 3000 new career pathways and occupations, specifically customized for a military transition.
Are there any fees for this service? Well, the good news is, there aren’t any!
The skills training and military transition costs are absolutely free! But as they say, “There is no free lunch!”
OJT Grants and Apprenticeship for Exiting Military Veteran’s
These military hiring and military transition costs are defrayed. This works through an ingenious mix of payments by the US Military (with authorizations from the duty member’s officer), OJT Grants, and Apprenticeship Programs, which exiting military service members signup for.
So, as an exiting military staff, you pay nothing! In fact, you get paid for the apprenticeship and training you receive!
Now isn’t that exciting? !!!

How Do Employers Benefit From MHA?
Now, at the other end of the spectrum, how does it benefit the employer or industry?
The industry is comprised of highly trained and committed ex-servicemen who have given their heart and soul to the nation.
Those, who not only possess high levels of honesty and integrity but also bring along a matching skill-set. They become immediately productive employees of apprenticeship programs, employers, and the right industry segment.
Also, the employer gets committed apprentices and staff who demonstrate a high willingness to learn and skill themselves. Plus, given the leadership and risk-taking skills embedded in their military service, such employees can be easily molded and groomed to take up leadership positions within the hiring organization.
Such low-cost apprentice programs, enable staff augmentation, and dramatically reduce the companies hiring, retention, and training costs, due to staff turnover. Besides they also render diversity, collaboration, and fresh ideas.
So you, the exiting military person get the right occupation and company, and the company hiring gets the right candidate with the right skill-set and disposition.
All the above contribute to a positive ROI for the enterprise providing the apprenticeship platform. In a nutshell, it is a true win-win partnership between the ex-military person and the hiring company, with MHA & OJT silently working in collaboration!
