Female veterans face a di!erent journey than men when it comes to healing the wounds of

Did you know that there are now
more than 20 million military
veterans living in the United States?
When you imagine their faces, you
probably picture two distinct groups:
the now-aging men who served in
WWII, Vietnam and other conicts,
and the fresh-faced young people
returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
But there's something you may have
forgotten to include in that image: for
every 10 people returning from Iraq
and Afghanistan, there is one
woman.
Women make up a large part of our
armed forces and are serving in
combat. Like their male
counterparts, many women veterans
struggle to transition back into
civilian life, facing homelessness,
PTSD, issues with child care, efects
from sexual trauma endured while in
the military, lack of licensing or
credentialing, and many other
challenges that can quite
signicantly impede their paths to
economic self-sumciency. One
particular struggle women veterans
face is that of nding employment to
support themselves and their
families as they return to a bleak job
market and are unsure how to adapt
the skills they have developed in the
military to the private sector. In
January, the unemployment rate for
women veterans was 17.1 percent
according to the U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics. The latest data for
May says it stands at the lowest rate
in years -- 4.9 percent. The
unemployment rate for women
veterans transitioning to the labor
force is volatile, and if the cycle
continues, we will likely see the rate
rise dramatically again.
Two years ago, First Lady Michelle
Obama and Dr. Jill Biden called on
Goodwill and others to support our
military veterans by participating in
the Joining Forces campaign.
Goodwill rose to that call and to date
has hired nearly 1,800 men and

to date has hired nearly 1,800 men and
women veterans and military family
members, and it has served nearly
100,000 more with job training and
placement services.
These veterans are people like former
Army Sergeant Ishenia Mumphord, a
single mom who returned from three tours
of duty in Iraq to a tough job market in her
local community. She had a doubly hard
time earning employment with an expired
commercial driver's license, out-of-date
certications, and a rsum that did not
adequately reect her skills. She came to
Goodwill Industries of Houston for
assistance, where a Goodwill employment
specialist led her through rsum and
interviewing workshops. They worked
together to better represent her skills in
her rsum, and updated her commercial
driver's license. As a result of these eforts,
she earned a job as a manager at a major
trucking rm. She also received nancial
coaching, which helped her buy her rst
house before the arrival of her second
child.
Vestibulum vitae neque endrerit purus

Mumphord's illustrates just one stirring
success story; there are thousands of
other brave veterans like her, many of
whom are facing similar struggles.
Perhaps more alarmingly, nearly half of our
women veterans are less than 30 years
old, and the unemployment rate among
our youngest veterans is even higher than
that for the group at large. These women
are a crucial element of America's future.
They are tomorrow's leaders, teachers,
mothers, CEOs, and, most likely, ghters.
But if we expect them to fulll any of these
roles, it's up to us to connect them with
the resources they need to succeed today.
On that note, I'm very pleased to
announce that Goodwill has launched a
new initiative to help 3,000 women
veterans nd jobs over the next two years.
We hope more individuals and
organizations will join with us to pay the
debt we owe to these heroes. Without
them, where would our nation be?

Wounded warriors, veterans and
transitioning Marines attended a
networking event geared toward
helping them create a successful
future outside the military. Some
of the philosophies that make
REBOOT Workshops successful
were highlighted as ways to help
our countrys warriors transition
successfully. Space and Naval
Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) hosted the event at Wounded Warrior Battalion
Wests Hope and Care Center on Camp Pendleton Jan. 23, 2014.
NVTSI President/National Executive Director Maurice Wilson, U.S. Navy Master Chief
Petty Ofcer (ret), NVTSI REBOOT Workshop Enrollment Specialist Dietrice Hinojosa, and
Master Facilitator, The Pacic Institute, Angus MacDonald, U.S. Navy Captain (ret), were
on hand to talk with the warriors and participants during the networking portion of the
event.
SPAWARs networking efforts grew from SPAWAR Commander, Rear Adm. Patrick
Bradys desire to hire wounded warriors. During his opening speech, Brady talked about
organizations like NVTSI/REBOOT who help veterans nd not just jobs but careers.
There are people out there who
want t o hel p t r ansi t i oni ng
veterans like you nd not just a
job but a meaningful career, said
Rear Adm. Brady. You need to
wi den your aperture, meet
industry personnel and build a
network of contacts that can help
you nd pl acement i nt o a
meaningful career.

Meaningful careers are exactly what NVTSI wants for all its graduates from REBOOT
Workshops. NVTSIs most recent initiative, Veterans Ready for Hire helps link employers
with qualied veterans who are also REBOOT graduates. The workshop facilitators teach
veterans about the importance of not just nding a job but nding a career they are
passionate about and an employer they connect with.
Five panelists from various military and government contracting backgrounds provided
advice to the warriors on what it takes to transfer the skills they learned in the military and
turn them into a career working in the defense industry. Even though the panel was
focused on how to help the Marines learn the ins and outs of applying for and
successfully gaining a government position, their advice would easily translate to any
If you own a computer, you are probably familiar with the
term reboot the process by which a computer is
restarted. Why bother restarting a computer? Because
the longer a computer is on, the slower it often becomes
due to the accumulation of countless invisible
background processes going on behind the scenes
usually without our knowledge or consent.

So there you are, staring impatiently at your screen
waiting waiting. waiting for what seems like an
eternity to gain access to all that cool software you
own. Whats yours, unfortunately, has become
frustratingly inaccessible.

The same phenomenon goes on inside of a human
being.
During the course of a day or a week or a lifetime, all
kinds of stuff is going on inside us invisible stuff
the kind of stuff that bogs us down and ends up
interfering, big time, with the quality of our experience.

F o r some of
u s , this stuff
mi ght show up
a s g u i l t ,
doubt o r
regret. F o r
others, i t s
fantasy,
attachment
or desire. And then, of course,
t he r e s a l wa y s a reliable cache of worry,
sadness, anger, blame, projection and fear a
seemingly endless supply of bugs taking over our once
perfect human operating system.
Im not saying that human beings are computers. Im
simply noting the fact that sometimes all the stuff
spinning around in our heads can have a limiting effect
on us. It slows us down. It causes problems. It makes us
prime candidates for a reboot a simple way to get a
fresh start.This, in my experience, is what Prem Rawat is
offering and it happens in two different ways.

When I sit down to practice the techniques he taught me
for turning my attention within, I am restored to a pristine
state of being a state of optimal functioning. The
second way? Simply sitting before him and listening to
what he has to say. At that time (or should I say
timelessness), all the static going on inside my head
disappears. Sluggishness is replaced by responsiveness,
fragmentation by wholeness, and all my needless
spinning in space by the kind of stillness and presence I
never want to end.
This week, I thought I would take a sabbatical from covering business
intelligence to write about a very good book I read recently--about
sabbticals.
"Reboot your Life" is one of those books that comes in handy when you
are in your thirties, forties, fties, sixties and now, with the work life of
everyone being streteched as far as you can see, maybe in
the seventies and eighties also!

Taking a break from what you do every day and doing something
different to recharge yourself, your brain and coming back all energized
to do the same things better or something else--this is not something
that is a luxury anymore, but a necessity.

This book explains very well why you need to take a break, preparing
ahead of time what you will be doing (or not doing!) when you do so, as
well as preparing those around you for you doing something different,
doing it, and then coming back and reintegrating yourself into your
usual run of things.

None of those steps can be skipped. When you have been doing the same
thing for years and years and then do something else, those around you
need to adjust more than you do. How true this is, as anyone who has
stayed home for any extended period of time between jobs or for health
reasons knows full well. How many marriages have fallen apart because one
of the spouses retired and the other one cannot stand the puttering, free,
cranky spouse anymore?

The best chapters are those that discuss re-entry and thinking hard about
whether you want to come back and do the same thing again after a
sabbatical. Most vocations and jobs are just those--a way of making a living,
although at the time, we imagine them to be much more. After a sabbatical,
you can come back and start doing something else with even more vigor
and interest. When you are learning something new and trying to do well in it,
life suddenly perks up.

This book is a gem and a must-have in any professional's library.
Transitions By Robert C. Kamei
A bend in the road is not the end of the road,
unless you fail to make the turn
-unknown.

Any time you deal with any adjustments in life, there will always be resistance to change. This
is especially true when you transition from military life to civilian life. I remember fearing life in
the civilian world because the civilian population doesnt understand the military mentality and
our own ways of communication.
To this day, my wife doesnt obey the orders I bark at her and she would be in direct violation of many regulations of the UCMJ! And for
these reasons (outside of my marital situation) is why the military created the Transition Assistance Program (TAP).
The purpose of TAP is to prepare separating Service members and their families with the skills, tools, and self-condence necessary to
ensure successful reentry into the Nation's civilian work force. TAPs are designed to complete the military personnel "life cycle. This
interestingly called cycle begins with the Service member's voluntary recruitment from the civilian sector, continues through training
and sustainment throughout a Service member's service in their respective branch of service, and concludes when the Service
member returns to the civilian sector. TAP services include pre-separation counseling, individual transition planning, employment
assistance, excess leave and permissive temporary duty, and relocation assistance for personnel overseas, which are to be provided
to Service members and their families for up to 90 days after separation.
When being discharged, released from active duty, or retiring, Service members and their families are primarily responsible for their
successful transition into civilian life. For Service members who are located overseas, there are advanced transition assistance
programs established for eligible members and their families to help alleviate the special dimculties overseas personnel encounter
when job and house hunting. The timeline for the Pre-Separation Brieng is suggested to attend this brieng 6 months prior to
separation or one year prior to retirement. It is MANDATORY at least 90 days prior to separation or retirement, with the spouse also
encouraged to attend the brieng. TAP helps you prepare for the many military to civilian transition challenges with topics to cover:
preparation for transition, job search skills, resume writing, record keeping, and veterans benets. This program is recommended at
least one year prior to separation or retirement, with the spouse also encouraged to attend.
But if you are afected by something that you did not plan for due to a disability, the Disability Transition Assistance Program (DTAP) is
what program we fall under. My goal was to be a career Marine, but just two years in, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and
was able to be transferred to a unit in San Diego to nish out my shortened career close to the Naval Medical Center (NMC) Balboa. At
the NMC was where I started my process for a Medical Disability Review where Service members mayle a VA Claim for Disability on
their own, with the assistance of a Veterans Center or with the assistance of a Veterans Service Organization (VSO).Of course I knew
nothing about what life would be like after the Marine Corps or what was going to replace my Captains pay.
I knew nothing about the VA, what VSOs are, or

what a claim is and how to le for one. The only
thing I knew was that I was being Medically
Boarded out on a Temporary Disabled Retirement
List (TDRL) and that I had to wait up to ve years to
be determined and placed on the Permanently
Disabled Retirement List (PDRL), which means a lot
to the VA. How can one letter (T or P) have such a
huge meaning to the VA? Well Permanent and Total
determines whether you qualify for the auto grant
(escalating to $18,900), the Specially Adaptive
Housing (SAH) grant (currently $63,780), and
Survivors and Dependents Education Assistance
for upper-level schooling. Based on the progressive
nature of my MS, I was quickly determined and
placed on the PDRL.
Eleven years later, I dont remember too much (either MS or old age) about going to these suggested meetings. I did start my claim
through the NMC after meeting with them a couple of times while I was still on active duty to nalize my Med Board. I was referred to
join PVA and met with this guy named Mr. Rollins to get the auto, SAH and other benets started. Getting in touch with a VSO is a
must since they have the knowledge to handle and coordinate your claim(s). And now that I am a National Service Omcer for the PVA, I
can say that its my turn to assist Service members, dazed and confused (like I was) leaving the branch of service I did not want to
leave from. Spreading the word about what the PVA is and what we can do for disabled Service member is necessary to get them
headed in the right direction and receive the benets they deserve to start their lives on a new road.

Over a three-year grant period that extends through July
2016, local Goodwill agencies will connect program
participants with the training, nancial education,
credentialing opportunities, retention support and case
management resources they need to get back to work
and advance their careers. The program is unique
because it is open to veterans, military spouses and adult
children dependents (ages 18-24). The program is also
making an additional commitment to focus on helping
women veterans. Through Operation: GoodJobs,
Goodwill will work with business partners to match
potential employees with employers. Goodwill will also
provide participants withfree job search assistance and
employment placement,screening, and support services,
including child care, nutrition advice and transportation.
The goal of Operation: GoodJobs is to smooth the
transition from military service to the civilian workforce,
said Jim Gibbons, president and CEO of Goodwill
Industries International. These heroes stood up for
America in our time of need, and now Goodwill and the
Walmart Foundation are standing up for them.
The program not only benets veterans and their families,
but employers as well. By hiring veterans who have
participated in Operation: GoodJobs, businesses will be
bolstered by having highly skilled and mission-
ready military veterans in the workforce.
Our veterans have many great skills to ofer the current
job force, and with one million veterans slated to return
home in the next ve years, we need to ensure they have
the opportunity to put those skills to work, said retired
U.S. Army Brigadier General Gary Prot, senior director of
military programs at Walmart. Goodwill is an essential
partner in helping us fulll our commitment to help
veterans nd jobs where they have the ability to live better
lives and nd success.
After launching in the spring of 2012 in Austin and
Houston, TX, and Tacoma, WA, Operation: GoodJobs has
successfully served more than 815 veterans and families.
The newly expanded program now includes nine
additional Goodwill agencies in four states with high
concentrations of veterans: California, New York, North
Carolina and Texas.

Furthennore, in response to Post-9/11 service members
returning home, Easter Seals created the Dixon Center in
2012 with Colonel David Sutherland, retired us Anny and
fonner Special Assistant to the Chainnan of the Joint
Chiefs of Staf.

ESSC has chosen to build upon its highly successful
employment program, WorkFirst, to deliver critical
employment placement assistance and job skills training
to returning veterans and their families as they seek to
reintegrate into their civilian communities. Strategically,
ESSC has made the decision to pilot our Military and
Veterans Services WorkFirst program in San Diego.
WorkFirst is a proven efective employment services
program focused on: 1) Ensuring employment for people
with all types of disabilities. 2) Decreasing the demand for
State-funded services. 3) Stimulating the economy by
adding people to the workforce. 4) Improving the quality
of life for people with disabilities while mitigating
inequality.

2013
In April of 2013, the San Diego Workforce
Partnership (SDWP) commissioned BW
Research Partnership, Inc. (BW Research) to
identify the San Diego Countys top 50
indemand jobs and develop a robust prole of
each occupation based on employer
feedback and current labor market information.
The attached report is meant to
supplement the 50 occupational proles that
were developed as part of this research
and provide some additional insight on the
employer surveys, executive interviews and
online resume panels.

The study had three key research objectives:
1. Identify 50 in-demand occupations in San
Diego County that can be lled or developed
by SDWPs job-seeking customers.
2. Develop a robust prole of each of the 50 in-
demand jobs based on current labor market
information and direct feedback from San
Diego County employers through
quantitative surveys, qualitative interviews
and online panels.
3. Examine the evolving employer expectations
for education, technical skills and non-
technical skills in the context of the in-
demand occupations. This information is
meant to inform and educate students and
job-seekers as they prepare for the world of
work.

The study also provided valuable workforce
development information for San Diego
County and the regional labor market, including:
An assessment of career pathways in San
Diego Countys labor market and their
relationship to diferent occupations and
industries.
An in-depth qualitative examination of San
Diego County employers attitudes and
perspectives on special population job-
seekers, including older workers, the
previously incarcerated, those with disabilities
and veterans.
An analysis of the role the resume plays in
getting employed and how that difers by
industry, occupation and the size of the
employer.
The research began with an extensive analysis

of available labor market information, using
California Employment Development
Department (EDD) and Economic Modeling
Specialists, Intl. (EMSI) labor market projections.
BW Research identied in-demand occupations
based on: a) total employment and forecasted
growth; b) relevance to key industries that were
prioritized by the San Diego Workforce
Partnership; and c) likeliness to have
educational requirements that could be met by
the SDWPs job-seeking customers.
Military Veteran Initiatives
Life science and the military are synonymous
with San Diego. To keep our region on the
cutting edge of scientic and technological
innovation we need to develop a new pipeline of
workers. There is an excellent t between the
life sciences industry and the needs of
transitioning military. However, making the
transition from military to civilian life is
challenging. Innovative strategies new to be
created, discussed and throughly cemented into
the culture of biotechnology hiring practices. To
discuss ways to create paths for veterans to
enter the industry, we have decided to bring key
military, educational and biotechnology leaders
together to form a Veteran Initiatives Committee
at Biocom.
Primary Goal: To create an open environment
where current veteran issues related to job
readiness and placements are discussed and
solutions are established.
Anticipated Start Date: March 2014
Needs: We are seeking interested parties to join
the committee as members and chairs. All
members must be willing to make positive
changes in the community. All inquiring
members must be employees of Biocom
member companies, employed in the life
science or med device industry, STEM
community/educational group or military group
and must reside in the greater San Diego region.
As the committee grows, changes can be made
to membership requirements.

San Diego Industry Clusters
Life Sciences
Maritime
Defense
Technology
Convention/Tourism
The life sciences industry is a major driver of the innovation economy in the San Diego
region. The region has more than 600 life science companies and more than 80 research
institutes. The research institutes along with the University of California, San Diego
provide the sector with breakthrough technologies that fuel company growth and product
development. Major pharmaceutical companies including Pzer, Johnson & Johnson and
Merck maintain a presence in the region to foster collaboration with major research
institutes, universities and smaller biotech companies. The region attracts graduate
students and postdoctoral trainees from around the world. Many stay in the area to pursue
academic research or positions in industry. The forecast for job growth through 2013 is
approximately 3 percent.
San Diego's maritime industry is claiming its place as one of San Diegos unique
technology clusters. Recent studies have given us a clearer picture of the efect the
industry has on the region, and the inuence that technology is playing in all aspects of the
maritime sector. Blue Tech is a term being used to describe technology innovation in
maritime industries. Even traditional maritime activities are being transformed by
technology. One of the most important linkages is the longstanding relationship between
private maritime companies and the U.S. Navy.
San Diego is home to the largest concentration of military in the world. Total employment in
the sector accounts for one of every four jobs in the San Diego region. This includes
uniformed military, defense contracting and civilian employment, and related support
employment. San Diego is the home port for more than 60 percent of the ships in the
Pacic Fleet. Expertise in the defense-related research and development includes
command and control systems, reconnaissance and surveillance systems, unmanned
vehicles and cyber security.
San Diego has built successful industry sectors in communications, computers and
electronics, and software. Because of the linkages between these sectors, the region now
recognizes them under one umbrella cluster to highlight their interdependence and the
resulting benets in terms of increased collaboration and innovation. San Diego-based
companies specializing in Information and Communications Technologies have a global
footprint but also work closely with local military and defense companies. The regional
economic impact of software alone is estimated to be $9.8 billion.

Cleantech
San Diego is one of Californias most concentrated centers of cleantech employment with
more than 850 companies. Between 1995 - 2010, employment in the sector increased 73
percent, while total regional employment grew 26 percent. These companies represent 10
percent of the total green jobs in the state, 13 percent of renewable energy jobs in the state
and 11 percent of energy emciency and green building jobs.
Healthcare
San Diego ofers some of the most sophisticated healthcare in the country. Academic
medical centers and clinically-focused hospitals provide high quality primary care and
specialties that have achieved national stature. San Diego County is considered a leader in
health innovation due in part to their Live Well, San Diego! initiative, a 10-year plan to
build a healthy, safe and thriving community. The County has also been selected as one of
four communities nationwide to help launch a mobile app development challenge to help
prevent a million heart attacks and strokes as part of the Million Hearts initiative.
Aerospace
Aerospace has a long history in San Diego, dating back to the early 1900s when Ryan
Airlines built the Spirit of St. Louis and Reuben Fleet brought Consolidated Aircraft
Corporation to Lindbergh Field. Since then, San Diegos Aerospace cluster has been an
integral part of the regions innovation and defense economies. Home to some of the
worlds largest aerospace, aircraft and research and development companies, San Diego
is a North American aerospace hub. In addition to the cluster that exists in San Diego,
Baja California, Mexico is one of the worlds leading aerospace manufacturing hubs and a
vital part of the industrys success in the region.

Featured Programs
Program aims to get vets solar jobs
Veterans looking for jobs in the local solar industry can get a boost on that career
path through a program beginning locally next year, backed by the San Diego
County Board of Supervisors.
This week, the board unanimously passed a
resolution endorsing Empower America, a
nonprot based in Temecula that will provide two
weeks of training for free to honorably discharged
veterans, and then try to place them in
t he l ocal sol ar i ndust r y. The
program, currently operating in
Riverside County, is scheduled to
launch in San Diego in early 2014.
Mar i o Pabon, CEO of t he
nonprot, said the program would
work through local employment
omces, military bases and
other organizations to locate
veterans for the two weeks of
training. Each session would
include 10 to 12 veterans,
who will learn hands on
how to place solar panels,
so that they will be ready for the profession.
The program aims to help alleviate veteran
unemployment, which has remained stubbornly
high. While the overall unemployment rate has
been on a downward trend, joblessness among
veterans of the recent gulf wars was 10 percent in
October, unchanged from October 2012.
"Veterans face unique barriers when trying to
integrate back into civilian life, including high
unemployment rates. We need to ensure that we
are doing everything in our power to assist our
heroes once they leave the military," Supervisor
Dianne Jacob said in a statement.
In Riverside County, where the program has
been operating since August, Pabon said
four employers have given authorization
for more than 160 jobs. He said the
entry level wages generally start at
$14 to $16 per hour, but he said there
is opportunity for advancement. He
said the organization recently placed
a warehouse manager, who earns
$50,000 per year.
"Renewable energy solar is by far out
in front and has a tremendous
a m o u n t o f c o n t i n u i n g
opportunity," said Pabon, whose
son is a Marine deployed to
Korea. "A lot of these owners are
saying, 'look, we need the leaders that can run the
crews and we envision the veterans that are
coming in are naturally taught to do that.' And so
we see that as a phenomenal t."
Locations for the training have not yet been
determined. Veterans interested in the program
can call Empower America at (951) 296-0208, or

THE PERFECT RESUME
Closing Americas Job Gap
By Elizabeth M. Economou
UC San Diego Extension, which features around 100 certicate programs, has seen its
enrollment grow by 59 percent in the past four years, says Henry J. DeVries, assistant dean of
UC San Diego Extension and co-author of Closing Americas Job Gap, a compilation of
narratives about successful graduates of certicate programs.
Many individuals and organizational leaders believe that an undergraduate or advanced degree, coupled with on-the-
job experience, will provide the knowledge and skills sumcient for a professional career spanning several decades,
says DeVries. But in todays world, that is not always true. One of the reasons certicates have become so critical is
the acceleration of scientic and technological progress, coupled with a globalizing economy.
Demand for certicate programs is being driven by the desire to improve earning potential, says Cathy Sandeen, dean
of UCLA Extension, noting that the typical certicate student has already earned one or more degrees. More highly
paid employees have lost jobs in this downturn than previously. These individuals are seeking a quick way to retool for
re-employment, she says.
Certicate programs are of shorter duration and are less expensive than masters degree programs; they tend to be
geared toward practical application rather than academic knowledge; and they are scheduled at times convenient for
working professionals. For any or all of these reasons, they can be a good choice for those transitioning into a new role
or career.
Another trend is baby boomerswho are retired or nearing

retirementturning to certicate programs as a way to follow a
lifelong dream or passion.Many are pursuing health care,
education, nonprot or arts-related certicates, Sandeen
notes. Additionally, recent graduates are making themselves
more marketable by augmenting their bachelors degrees with
the practical knowledge and networking skills gained in a
certicate program. For example, an art history major might
complete a certicate in interior design, or a music major could
supplement his or her degree with a certicate in lm scoring.
Bradley Snaza, a graduate of Central Washington University in

Ellensburg, realized the value of adding a certicate program to
his list of credentials. Snaza, 26who is the assistant
restaurant manager and sommelier for the upscale Suncadia
Resort in Cle Elum, Washingtonsays sheer curiosity initially
led him to pursue a wine trade professional certicate while
earning a degree in tourism administration. His interest in wine
blossomed, and he spent another year earning a second
bachelors degree in global wine studies.
Unlike most programs that address viticulture and the study of

wine (enology), the wine trade professional certicate ofered by
CWUs Omce of Continuing Education is one of the few
accredited university programs in the United States to focus on
the international business of wine, says curriculum coordinator
and wine director Amy Mumma. We created the [wine trade
professional certicate] program because there were no other
programs that met this need, she says.
According to Mumma, Washingtons wine industry employs 19,000 people and has a $3 billion economic impact on the
state. Most wine-related jobs, she notes, are not found in the vineyard, but rather in marketing, branding, distribution,
retail, public relations and import/export.The wine trade professional certicate program boasts a 90 percent rate of
placement of its graduates, including jobs with regional businesses such as Swiftwater Cellars and neighboring
Suncadia Resort.
Similarly, myriad programs at UCLA are designed to help meet the needs of growing businesses. Almost all certicates,
such as digital media, technology, entertainment and nancial services, relate to surrounding local industries, says
Sandeen. Relevance is a principal goal. Some of the most popular certicates at UCLA Extension include global
sustainability and nonprot management.
Sometimes the popularity of certicate programs can reect local intellectual curiosity. Since the 1996 inception of the
University of Washingtons certicate in museum studies, some 450 students have completed the program, which is one
of the many popular oferings at the university. This comes as no surprise to Britta Simon, assistant director of
academic programs for UW Professional & Continuing Education, who explains that the program garners so much
interest due to its relevancy and to the combined experience of its instructors, all of whom are museum professionals.
People realize how important museums are in their communities, says Simon. Weve been wait-listing students for
the past ve years. The six-course program is geared toward entry- and mid-level professionals who are interested in
volunteering for or working at a museum, and also attracts art and history bufs. In the nal practicum, students apply
core concepts as interns in local museums, such as the Seattle Art Museum, EMP and the Henry Art Gallery. Museums
carry authority in local communities, says Simon. Museum professionals and volunteers join a movement where
history and culture are integrated into the here and now, where history becomes present.
Certicate programs can be a good way to explore evolving interests, as Leslie Widner found. When the graduate of
San Diego State University couldnt nd work as a teacher, she found alternate ways to better her community. In her
position as a front-omce supervisor at a large hotel chain, she noticed the company had no recycling protocol.
I saw such an enormous amount of waste, says Widner. Recognizing a need,she decided to do something about it.
Not only did she set up a recycling program for her employer, but she enrolled in the sustainable business certicate
program at UCSD Extension.
While learning about weighty topics such as environmental economics and green marketing, Widner applied for an
internship at the U.S. Green Building Council in San Diego, which led to a sales consultant job with Pasadena-based
Waste Less Living, a provider of composting services to schools and businesses. There she was able to marry her love
of teaching and her desire to protect the environment.
Its awesome to see the change in how kids think after we spend time together, she says.
As Widner, Snaza, Griggs, and many others have experienced, certicate programs can ofer a way to explore personal
interests or bridge the gap to greater career satisfaction.

Outpost is located on the 14th hole
at Torrey Pines Golf Course with
beautiful views of the Pacic Ocean.
Local heroes are provided
complimentary food and beverage
as well as a great vantage point to
watch the action unfold on one of
the closing holes of the tournament.
Our company roots are in military
satellite communications and
network security so we have a deep
appreciation of the extraordinary job
that our service men and women
perform every day, said Rick
Baldridge, president and COO of
ViaSat. Were looking forward to

Obama and Labor Secretary Thomas
E. Perez delivered remarks at the
National Symposium on Veterans"
Employment in Construction, hosted
at the Labor Department.
The event brought together
construction industry omcials,
government leaders and education
professionals to highlight hiring
commitments throughout the
industry, and it addressed
employment challenges and
opportunities for transitioning service
members and veterans.
The rst lady called the commitment
to veterans "a huge deal," adding,
"It"s days like today that remind me
why Dr. [Jill] Biden and I started
Joining Forces in the rst place."
Joining Forces is a national initiative
championed by the rst lady and the
vice president"s wife to engage all
sectors of society to give service
members and their family members
opportunities and support.
"We did this because we wanted to
inspire businesses and organizations
across the country to ask themselves
one simple question:... What more
can we do to honor and support our
veterans and military families?" the
rst lady said.
"And today all of you answered that
question with this incredibly strong
commitment," Obama said. "I know
that you all have made this
commitment not just because it is
the patriotic thing to do, ... [but also]
because you know that America"s
military turns our some of the
highest-skilled, hardest-working
employees this country has ever
seen."
The kind of work men and women in
uniform do every day includes
building cities in the middle of
deserts halfway around the world,
building schools in remote villages,
and repairing complex machinery in
combat zones in the middle of the
night, she said.
"Our ave taken on some of the most
challenging projects in some of the
most inhospitable places under
some of the toughest deadlines and
constraints," the rst lady said. "So
when it comes to the attitude and the
experience needed to thrive in
construction jobs, our men and
women in uniform are second to
none."
As part of Joining Forces, the rst
lady and Dr. Biden issued a call to 50
U.S. governors to take executive or
legislative action to streamline state
licensing for service members,
veterans and their spouses by the
end of 2015.
Today, 44 states have passed
legislation that streamlines the
process for service members and
veterans to obtain civilian
certication and licensure, according
to a White House fact sheet.
In his remarks, Perez noted that the
Labor Department"s latest
employment report indicates the
private sector has created 8.5 million
jobs over the last 47 months. The
construction industry showed one of
the most dramatic growth rates, he
said, adding more jobs in January
than in any month since March 2007.
The construction industry is
expected to create more than 1.5
million jobs by 2022, Perez said,
adding that the industry has long
maintained a proven training and
employment infrastructure.
"Through apprenticeships,
certication and credentialing
programs provided by labor unions
and individual employers, veterans
can translate their skills into in-
demand civilian occupations," the
secretary said.
"Nearly 8 percent of all registered
apprentices are veterans," he added,
"while 23 percent of apprentices are
active military members learning
skills in over 120 occupations
ranging from airframe mechanics to
reghters.
The rst lady said she and President
Barack Obama believe the nation"s
men and women in uniform should
be able to start pursuing such
careers the minute they hang up their
uniforms but that the transition from
military to civilian life can be dimcult.
"Too many of our troops ... get
excellent training [but] they don"t
always know how to translate that
military experience into good civilian
jobs," she said. "That"s why in 2012
my husband launched the
Department of Defense Military
Credentialing and Licensing Task
Force, and we"re already starting to
see results."
Today, she added, service members
nationwide participate in
apprenticeships and accredited
civilian training programs near their
bases, and the Defense Department
is working to help them apply military
training toward earning civilian
credentials, particularly in high-
demand elds like plumbing and
heating, ventilation and air
conditioning.
The president has assured that
veterans can use their Post-9/11 GI
Bill benets to pay for career and
technical training in construction and
other industries, the rst lady said,
and veterans and companies can
nd jobs and qualied employees in
2,600 American job centers across
the country.
Today"s commitment is about
putting highly skilled individuals to
work in high-paying careers and
providing U.S. companies with the
very best workers, but it"s also about
"modeling a certain set of values for
our communities and for our
country," she said.
"By making these kinds of
commitments ... you all are sending
a clear message that in this country
we honor those who"ve sacriced for
us," the rst lady said to company
representatives in the audience.
First lady: 100 companies to
hire 100,000 vets over ve
years
First Lady Michelle Obama announced that more than 100
construction industry companies have committed to hiring
more than 100,000 military veterans over the next ve years.

Making the transition back to civilian life from the war
front to the home front can be a difcult challenge,
especially for the newer and younger generation of
service-men and women who were deployed several
times to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Designed for service members, veterans and dependents,
REBOOT Workshops are a series of cognitive-
restructuring educational seminars that promotes a
successful social transition from military service to civilian
life.
The goal of the workshop is to assist veterans in reframing
their thought patterns from military service to civilian life,
with all veterans achieving, within their potential, their
goals in the TRANSITION DOMAINS of:
Employment and Career, Education, Living Situation,
Personal Effectiveness & Wellbeing, and Community-
Life Functioning.
Employment assistance provided upon graduation.
We are pleased to announce the North County series of
REBOOT Workshops beginning on July 8, 2013

Military Friendly College
Alliant International University was once again
designated as a Best for Vets" school by Military
Times EDGE (MTE) magazine for the third year in a
row. Ranked number six among non-traditional
colleges (dened as those which operate across a
network of small campuses), Alliant was the only
school in California, among non-traditional
schools, to be selected for the 2013 Military Times
EDGE Best for Vets Colleges list.
Some 650 schools more than ever before
participated in the 2013 Military Times EDGE (MTE)
survey.
A total of 111 schools were ranked across diferent
categories: 4-year, 2-year and online and non-
traditional. School rankings were based on
nancial assistance, academic exibility, campus
culture and support services that help veterans
make the transition from military to college life.
This Best for Vets award closely follows Alliants
recognition on G.I. Jobs magazines 2013 list of
Military Friendly Schools, representing the top
fteen percent of undergraduate and graduate
schools doing the most to embrace Americas
military service members and veterans as students.
Whats most striking about Alliants commitment to
veteran and military students is the welcoming and
supportive environment created by our staf, faculty
and students, says Dr. Russ Newman, provost and
vice president for academic afairs. Our Director of
Military and Veteran Afairs, Tina Moncada (USAF
Veteran), clearly understands the unique needs of
these students and has worked hard to assure that
others at the University understand as well, he
added.

What is CLEP?
CLEP, or the College-Level
Examination Program, is another way
to get college credit for the
knowledge and training you already
possess. CLEP is the most widely
accepted credit-by-examination
program that is available at more
than 2,900 colleges and universities.
Each college sets its own policy on
which CLEP exams it will grant credit
for and how many credits it will
award. Make sure you talk to your
admissions omcer, academic advisor,
or test center administrator to learn
more about your institutions CLEP
Policy. As with most things in the
realm of education, there is a cost
($77 for each test) but is far less
than actually taking the course in
both time and money. Exams are
approximately 90 minutes long with
mainly multiple-choice questions,
with the exception of College
Composition, which is 120 minutes
due to having other types of short-
answer questions and essays. These
exams include: History & Social
Sciences; Composition & Literature;
Science & Mathematics; Business;
and World Languages. There are test
preparation guides which include
practice questions for all exams,
exam descriptions, and test-taking
tips and strategies to help you get
ready for the exams. Before I started
working for the PVA, I was teaching
at the high school level. Since my
Bachelors Degree was in History, I
had to nd a new topic because
everyone in California teaches the
Liberal Arts in some way or another.
So while I was getting my Masters
Degree in Education, I was able
CLEP-out by getting my certicates
in Science and Earth Science without
any added coursework.

Whats my rst step?
% The rst step you need to take is
to want to go back to school.
As witnessed from the chart above,
higher education has become a
gateway to prosperity in America.
People who graduate with a
bachelors degree, on average, earn
about considerably more per week
and are signicantly more likely to be
employed than someone with just a
high school diploma. So the
motivation should be there to want to
go back to school. And with the Post
9/11 G.I. Bill, payments are issued
monthly in arrears with the tuition
and fees paid directly to the school,
the book stipend is paid to you at the
beginning of the term, and the
housing allowance is paid to you at
the end of each month. Choosing the
right career means considering many
important factors. Fortunately, there
is information available to assist you:
The Department of Labor has some
very good information available on
their website at http://
www.mynextmove.org/vets/ which
you may nd helpful; and the My
Next Move for Vets site is one of the
nation's primary sources of
occupational information. The time is
now to start looking for something
new in your life through all the
educational benets the military has
given you to exceed beyond what
you thought was fathomable when
you signed on the dotted line and
stepped on the yellow footprints.
Education is the key to unlock your
potential.
Education
Post-Military Education
By Robert C. Kamei
In what could be considered a huge oxymoron, leaving the
safety of living in the military environment may be the biggest
challenge we face moving to the private sector. Face it, in the
service we had a paycheck every other week, terric medical
and dental care, and education forced upon us on a regular
basis to factor in for promotion.
What could be better than that? But now that we are out or about to get out of
our respective service, there are many questions that linger regarding our
futures: What am I going to do now?; How am I going to pay my bills?; Can I
cohabitate with long-haired civilians? Yet again, here is another great benet of
being a veteran of the greatest military force in the world getting college
credits for what we learned while in service!
What credits can transfer?
Schools are not going to give anatomy credits for the appropriate
disembowelment of a certain hostile, creative writing credits for overly-
generous tness reports, or physics credits for the correct angulations for
artillery strikes, but they do ofer credits for other more civil training that are
appropriate for the civilian community. The American Council on Educations
(ACE) College Credit Recommendation Service (CREDIT) connects workplace
learning with colleges and universities by helping adults gain access to
academic credit for formal courses and examinations taken outside traditional
degree programs. These can be courses that were taking in service to learn
Arabic for our Gulf War/Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom
veterans to leadership training with the often used Franklin Coveys 7 Habits of
Highly Efective People. Colleges and universities have trusted ACE to provide
reliable course equivalency information to facilitate credit award decisions.

Southwestern
College Opens
Veterans
Resource
Center
With a Navy Band playing
patriotic tunes as a backdrop,
Southwestern College
leadership dedicated a new
Veterans Resource Center
Tuesday that will serve as
home base for counseling and
technological resources for
student veterans.
The converted omce space will
omcially open next month, but plans
include conference space, a private
room for individual counseling, a
computer lab and a lounge area for
student veterans to socialize.
The dedicated resource center was a
long time coming, said Governing
Board President Humberto Peraza, Jr.
I know there was talk about a
center even before I became a
member of the board, Peraza said.
There are a lot of people who made
this happen, but it was because of the
persistence of the student veterans.
A veterans resource center is
Southwestern Colleges commitment
to the sacrice student veterans have
given to defend our country and our
principles, said Superintendent/
President Dr. Melinda Nish.
They (veterans) are accustomed to a
brotherhood and sisterhood where
they know that somebody will always
have their back, said Dr. Nish, Thats
what this veterans resource center will
bring to our returning veteransa
place to hang out with others who
know exactly what theyve been
through.
Student Veteran Organization
President Tim Walsh, a United States
Marine Corps veteran, praised
Southwestern College leadership
calling the new veteran center a home
for heroes.
Veterans Service Specialist Jim
Jones, a former US Marine,
commended the new resource center,
noting the connection each veteran
has, and the need for a place for
veterans to mingle.
He also said no veteran should leave
Southwestern College empty handed.
The true measure of its (Veterans'
Resource Center) worth will be
determined when every veteran that
walks on the campus of Southwestern
College wearing a military uniform
proudly walks away from our campus
wearing a cap and gown," Jones
said.
CSUSM
Breaks
Ground on
New Veterans
Center
A ceremony on Friday, Nov. 8
at CSUSM celebrated the
groundbreaking of Ecohabit,
an award-winning, zero-net
energy solar house created by
a team of interdisciplinary
Stevens Institute of
Technology (SIT) students in
Hoboken, N.J., and donated
to Cal State San Marcos for
use as its new Veterans
Center.
Ecohabit, which won fourth place in
the U.S. Department of Energy Solar
Decathlon, will support CSUSMs
commitment to serving its signicant
student veteran population.
We take great pride at Cal State San
Marcos in serving our military and
supporting those people who have
served us so well, said President
Karen Haynes. Today puts us right
over the top in terms of excitement
about this facility and how it will
continue to help us serve our veteran
and active duty students and their
dependents. This new building will be
a hallmark on this campus. It will be a
place for coming together, for
conversations, for support and for
celebration.
CSUSM: A Veteran-Friendly
Approach to Higher Education
Cal State San Marcos, founded in
1989, was the rst university to be
built in the United States in 20 years
from the ground up. A young, vibrant
institution created for the modern era,
CSUSM prides itself on its mission to
serve the students of the region,
particularly those most educationally
at-risk, including veterans and
military-amliated students.
Today we celebrate breaking ground
on our tenth building in ten years.
Over 40 percent of our graduating
students for years have been rst-
generation college students and one
in ten current Cal State San Marcos
students is a veteran, active-duty or
dependent, said Haynes.
The University's veteran-friendly
approach to higher education
supported by such initiatives as the
War at Home and Abroad digital
history archive project, the Veterans
Student Support Fund, and veteran
specic scholarshipshas
consistently ranked the campus in the
top 15 percent nationally for veterans
education by Military Times Edge
since 2010.
And we are not done, emphasized
Haynes. We will continue to create
new programs. We are now going to
hire our rst-ever Veterans Center
director and we just completed our
Veterans and Active Duty Strategic
Plan.
An Eco-Friendly Center, a Bi-Coastal
Partnership
The new CSUSM Veterans Center will
be built on campus across from
Markstein Hall, replacing a smaller
facility which opened in Craven Hall in
2008. Expected to be in use by fall
2014, the 1,000-square-foot facility
will retain much of Ecohabits
emerging green technologies and
design innovations.

The opportunity to turn Ecohabit into
a functioning facility for returning
veterans made the Solar Decathlon
competition a truly meaningful
experience for our students, said Dr.
Michael Bruno, dean of the Charles V.
Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering
and Science at Stevens.
Featuring an omce, conference room, kitchen, lounge and event space, the
Center will be a place where military-amliated students can receive support
in achieving their academic and career goals with services tailored to their
unique needs. Staf will assist students to navigate the admissions process,
access their GI benets, register for courses, access campus resources and
get involved in leadership and social activities.

The Veterans Center will also provide a bridge to help civilian students learn
more about vets, dispel misconceptions and raise awareness of the
advantages that student veterans bring to our community, said Vice
President of Student Afairs Lorena Meza.

In addition, the Veterans Center will advance knowledge of energy emcient
design, directly supporting CSUSMs commitment to sustainability and
green building. CSUSM students will collaborate with Stevens students to
monitor and analyze data on energy use, weather and temperature and the
efect they have on energy emciency.

There is a hope and a promise here, said Bruno. We hope this is the rst
step in a long-term collaboration between our two campuses, driven by our
students: the users of the facility and the students back at Stevens in

SDSUs Troops
to Engineers
SERVICE
Success in Engineering for
Recent Veterans through
Internship and Career
Experience

San Diego is ground zero for
veterans successful transition
to civilian careers.

In February, 2011, SDSU launched a
highly successful pilot program called
Troops to Engineers SERVICE (Success
in Engineering for Recent Veterans
through Internship and Career
Experience). Premise: career-enhancing,
paid internships are the key to a
successful transition from military to
civilian careers; and, the program
presents a win, win, win solution to a
local and national problem. A win for
industry that needs highly qualied
candidates for engineering jobs. A win for
young veterans because they get jobs. A
win for our region and the country
because employed veterans pay taxes
and give back to their communities in
numerous ways. The program provides
support for young veterans who have
honorably served their country at a time
when joblessness among young veterans
is at an unprecedented high.

Goals and evaluation of the
program

Goal #1: To place 100% of SDSU
student-veterans seeking career
assistance into paid internships and full
time jobs upon graduation. (Results.
GOAL ACCOMPLISHED! As of
September 2012, 55 student-veterans
were placed in internships or full time,
salaried, jobs. All of the student veterans
who had internships received full time
jobs when they graduated, most stayed
with the employers where they interned.
Most of the veterans enrolled in the
program are OIF or OEF veterans and
one third are VA classied as Wounded
Warriors (disability rating of 30% or
greater.) The program accomplished this
goal at a cost of $3,222 per veteranfar
less than most programs that focus on
veterans employment. In addition
companies received tax incentives
(between $2,400 and $9,600) for each
veteran they employed full time through
the national Vow to Hire a Heros Act
passed by Congress in 2011.

Goal #2: Increase the number of veterans
pursuing degrees and careers in
Engineering and other STEM (Science
Technology Engineering Math) majors.
(Results. E-mail and phone inquiries from
prospective student-veterans about the
program have increased from one per
week in May 2011 to two per day in
September 2012. Most veterans are
transfer students from Community
Colleges, therefore it will take one to
three years to evaluate the increase of
veterans in the College of Engineering at
SDSU. Interest in the program has
increased steadily with 81 student
veterans actively enrolled in the program
in November 2012 as compared to 57 in
May 2012, and 29 in May 2011.)

(Results. Focus groups and individual interviews were conducted in September 2012 with student veterans returning
from summer internships and some of their employers. The results were overwhelmingly positive from both students
and employers. The program director is in the process of writing a paper reporting these results and best practices for
duplicating the program at other universities with similar conditions.)

Goal#4: Stabilize program funding through grants from industry and other organizations. (Results. The program has
received funding from the following companies in 2011 and 2012: Northrop Grumman ($100,000), SDG&E ($10,000),
Cubic ($10,000), General Dynamics ($5,000), Lockheed Martin ($8,000).

receive superb veteran support services, and the encouragement they need
to facilitate the transition to college life, while maintaining an environment that
espouses respect, high ethical standards and aids student intellectual,

Located on the 2nd oor of the
Student Center, the Student Veterans
Resource Center includes 1,600
square feet of lounge, meeting, omce
and kitchen space. A full-time staf
member will provide support services
to student veterans in this location.
Following the UC San Diego Veterans
Ceremony, free tours of the center will
be ofered, guided by UC San Diegos
student veterans.
According to Dennis Garland,
president of UC San Diegos Student
Veteran Organization, the
establishment of the Student Veterans
Resource Center was made possible
through a collaborative efort among
student and staf veterans and
campus leadership.
I feel very fortunate to have so many
dedicated and passionate people on
campus that are willing to step up for
student veterans, said the Muir
College senior. It will be great to have
a physical place on campus so that
we can continue to foster a sense of
community and inclusion. The center
will provide a place for student
veterans to meet and talk, giving them
a place to interact with other people
that have similar experiences while
easing their way into the UC San
Diego community.
As part of the dedication event, the
14th annual Veteran of the Year award
will be presented by the UC San
Diego Veterans Association. The
Veteran of the Year for 2013 is Billiekai
Boughton. Boughton served as chair
of the Veterans Association for two
and a half years, representing
veterans on campus and was
one of the individuals instrumental in
getting the Student Veterans
Resource Center established at UC
San Diego.
Boughton served as a Switching
Systems Operator team lead in the
U.S. Army from 1989 to 1992, where
she provided telecommunications and
radio support during operation Desert
Storm/Desert Shield. At UC San
Diego, she is an executive assistant at
the San Diego Supercomputer Center.
As a result of increased outreach
eforts, the campus has seen an
increase in the number of students
who have served in Iraq and
Afghanistan. Earlier this year, UC San
Diego was ranked among the top 15
percent of the nations military-friendly
schools by G. I. Jobs magazine for
embracing veterans as students. The
results are based on university
initiatives to assist student veterans
including: nancial aid benets,
additional support to the campus
Student Veteran Organization, special
orientations for new student veterans
and early enrollment privileges.

Retired Navy Admiral helps
steer tech-association
incubator.
Vice Admiral Walter R. Davis, USN
(Ret), has been newly elected to the
Board of Directors for CommNexus,
a non-prot technology industry
association that works to accelerate
the formation, growth, and success
of the technology industry in the
region.
Davis logged more than 3,500 ight

hours during his 37-year career as a
naval aviator ying the F-4 and F-14
ghter jets and being a test pilot and
Navy engineer for the F-14. His
combat tours included going to
Vietnam and Iraq.
During his career, Davis was also the

executive omcer of the USS Kitty
Hawk; commanded the USS
Sacramento and USS Ranger;
served as director of Naval Warfare
Systems; deputy chief of Naval
Operations for Space, Information
Warfare, Command and Control, N6;
and was stationed in San Diego three
times with squadrons VF-143 and
VF-114. He retired in 1999.
Veteran-owned businesses make

a valuable contribution to our
economy, but until now, we did not
have a benchmark that measured
their role. This is the rst time that
we can estimate the total number of
veteran-owned businesses, said
Census Bureau Deputy Director
Thomas Mesenbourg. Their impact
on our economy is even greater
when you add to that total those
businesses owned equally by
veterans and nonveterans.
All in all, businesses where
veterans were majority owners or
half-owners numbered 3.7 million,
representing 13.5 percent of all
businesses nationwide, accounting
for more than $1.6 trillion in receipts
and employing 8.2 million people.
The new data come from the
Survey of Business Owners (SBO):
Veteran-Owned Businesses: 2007,
which provides the rst-ever detailed
information for all veteran-owned
businesses in the United States,
including number of rms, sales and
receipts, number of paid employees
and annual payroll. Statistics are also
shown for nonveteran-owned
businesses, as well as for
businesses that are equally owned
by both veterans and nonveterans.
Nearly one-third of veteran-owned
businesses (32.5 percent) operated
in the professional, scientic, and
technical services and the
construction sectors.
The three states with the largest
number of veteran-owned
businesses in 2007 were California,
Texas and Florida. California had
239,422 veteran-owned businesses,
or 9.8 percent of all veteran-owned
businesses in the United States.
Texas had 199,476 businesses, or
8.1 percent, and Florida was home
to 176,727 businesses, or 7.2
percent.
Los Angeles County, Calif., had
more veteran-owned businesses in
2007 than any other county, with
62,667, or 2.6 percent of all veteran-
owned businesses nationwide.
Census Bureau Reports Veteran-Owned
Businesses Numbered More Than 2 Million
in 2007
In 2007, U.S. military veterans owned 2.4 million businesses, which accounted for 9.0 percent
of all businesses nationwide, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. These businesses
generated $1.2 trillion in receipts, or about 4.1 percent of all business receipts nationwide,
and employed nearly 5.8 million people.

The transition from military

sometimes overwhelming
what do I do now?
Many see a natural t for
veterans in the franchising

Type Prole, a personality
assessment tool in the
VetFran Toolkit will help
veterans clarify what their
personality indicates they
might be best suited for.
The VetFran Toolkit ofers

Now, the Franchisee Type
Prole is available to all

help with the very rst
step to embark on a

helps veterans identify

personality that will be
relevant to their decision,

personality, the Prole
also identies the types of
opportunities that might

How can personality hold
the key to success? It
turns out that what people
are drawn to (and repelled
by) is mostly the result of

essence of their inborn,
hardwired personalities.
This is why the same task
that one person cant wait

another to tears! Veterans
may experience unique
challenges after military

can even play a huge part
in whether we succeed or

Each Temperament has its
own natural strengths and

Because our greatest
success comes when we
capitalize on our strengths
a n d m i t i g a t e o u r
weaknesses. For example,
someone may not excel in
math, but have to manage
a budget. Or they may not
be a naturally organized

San Diego is one of the largest military cities in the United States. The County
is the third largest in the U.S. in terms of veteran residents, and the number
one destination for veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Demographically, San Diego County veterans are younger, better educated
and earn higher incomes than national averages. However, veterans -
especially young individuals who are more susceptible to high unemployment
- may experience specic barriers when reintegrating into the civilian labor
force. - See more at: http://www.sdchamber.org/news-and-publications/
