Military Service Members, Veterans, Guard and Reservists
Veterans ASCEND was created to help the military community, veterans of all eras and discharge status, Guard, and Reservists become career ready through skills translation, resources, mentoring and community-based advocacy. Everyone deserves the opportunity for employment that values them as a person, appreciates their unique skills and abilities, and provides them a path to success. We are proud to be a DOD SkillBridge Partner and a DOL Employment Navigator Partner.
Skills First Hiring Platform
As part of our process, we invite you to create a free skills profile. With our AI Powered Skills Matching Platform, we will start matching you to employment opportunities based on the skills that you have and would like to use in your next career. This platform is available for use to all Service Members, Veterans of all eras and branches, Guard and Reservists.
No Resumes, No Job Boards
We do not pull jobs from the internet or an employer’s job board. We don’t send you to a job board to “apply”. We match candidates directly with employers, hiring managers or decision makers who are looking for your skills.
Get The Career You Want With The Respect You Deserve
Your experience, no matter how it was earned, is valuable. You earned it. You have highly transferable skills from that experience. Not just in jobs comparable to your previous title. Careers – where your skills are valued and your experience is needed.
