Finding a new career outside the military is a top priority for many Veterans. But while service members have highly valued skills and talents, transitioning to a civilian role can be rough.
For starters, corporate communication and leadership styles can differ vastly (many military acronyms and certifications do not easily translate to the corporate world). More than that, finding belonging in a new culture can be overwhelming.
Expedia Group understands these challenges and fully embraces Veterans trying to bridge the gap from military to corporate. They actively participate in Hire Heroes USA and formed VETS, their employee-led Inclusion Business Group (IBG) that supports Veteran team members and their families.
Expedia’s Tyler Roth (Senior Manager, Human Resources Business Partner), Tashana Lopez (Diversity Sourcing Partner), and Greg Bradshaw (Senior Manager of Talent Acquisition) will share how to make the transition smoother, from showcasing the soft skills that don’t immediately jump off your resume to building a solid support system.
