Mission Transition: Translate Military Skills for Civilian Success

MISSION TRANSITION: Translating Your Military Skills for Civilian Success

You’ve mastered complex skills in high-stakes environments. Now it’s time to learn the language civilian employers understand.

This interactive 45-minute workshop is designed for active duty service members, veterans, and military spouses navigating the transition to civilian careers. You’ll learn to identify and articulate your transferable skills in ways that resonate with hiring managers and networking contacts—without the military jargon.

What You’ll Learn:

• The 6 core transferable skill categories that translate across every industry
• A practical framework for converting military accomplishments into compelling civilian stories
• How to avoid common translation mistakes that undersell your value
• Real-world examples and practice translating your own experience

Perfect for:
✓ Service members preparing for transition
✓ Recent veterans struggling to articulate their value in interviews
✓ Military spouses navigating civilian job markets
✓ Anyone who feels their military experience “doesn’t translate”

You’ll leave with:
→ A completed Transferable Skills Inventory worksheet
→ Translation examples you can reference
→ Confidence in speaking about your skills
→ Action steps to apply this week
