AR NCO Who Works for Employer Partner Assists Transitioning Soldiers

DirectEmployers Association is also an Army Reserve Partner. In fact, they provide the job search capabilities for our Web site. They also host a site for veterans called VetCentral. In addition to news coverage by NBC on Chad Sowash, an Army Reserve NCO and the vice president of Business Development for the DirectEmployers Association, National Public Radio also covered his story and his efforts to help veterans with their transition back to the civilian workforce. His efforts were also carried by CNN. He is a classic example of the skill-rich Soldiers found in the Army Reserve.

A nice feature of the VetCentral Web site is the Military Skills Translator found at O*Net. In addition to a terms and military occupational classifications database, it provides summary reports on career field requirements and wage and employment trends for the various states. O*Net also allows you to enter skill information and match that to occupations.
