The transition from military to civilian life can be challenging, as veterans often face various barriers when integrating back into society. Proper support networks are crucial for a smooth transition, and modern technology has played an increasingly important role in this process. One notable example is the collaboration between Google Public Sector and the Expiration Term of Service (ETS) Sponsorship Program, which aims to help US military veterans navigate the obstacles they encounter upon leaving the service.
Approximately 200,000 service members leave the U.S. military each year, with 30% doing so without securing a job. Moreover, 71% of these veterans don’t sign up for the Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits they are entitled to. These statistics emphasize the importance of fostering support networks and offering accessible resources for those transitioning to civilian life.
Transitioning to civilian life can present various challenges, such as adapting to new living and working conditions, reconnecting with family and friends, and navigating the available benefits programs and services. To overcome these hurdles, veterans need comprehensive tools and resources that allow them to smoothly reintegrate into society.
Google and ETS Sponsorship Program have teamed up to create Onward Ops, a secure portal hosted on Google Cloud to help veterans in their transition. The platform incorporates Google Workspace, providing various resources and tools that enable veterans to access vital information and connect with support networks.
Onward Ops offers multiple services to assist veterans during their transition, such as:
Several features of Google Workspace are particularly useful for veterans in their transition process, including:
Google also offers additional resources and programs to support veterans beyond its collaboration with the ETS Sponsorship Program. For example, veterans can search for job opportunities using their Military Occupation Code (MOS) in Google’s job search engine. Additionally, Google has developed Serving Veterans, a mental wellness resource hub, and partnered with the Hiring Our Heroes Initiative to provide career development and mentorship opportunities for veterans.
In conclusion, support networks and resources are vital in helping military veterans navigate the transition to civilian life. Collaborative initiatives like the partnership between Google and the ETS Sponsorship Program illustrate the potential of modern technology in enhancing the quality of life for veterans and ensuring their successful reintegration into society.
Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.
Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).
This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.
I honestly can't wait to work in many more projects together!
