Program accomplishments
- NEXTOP'S EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMMING FACILITATES A SEAMLESS TRANSITION FOR VETERANS FROM MILITARY SERVICE TO CIVILIAN CAREERS.

OUR CANDIDATES COMPRISE THE MOST DIVERSE POPULATION WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE - THE MIDDLE ENLISTED RANKS - AND ARE UNIQUELY POSITIONED TO BRING THEIR SOFT SKILLS AND WORLD EXPERIENCES TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR, BUT OFTEN LACK THE NETWORK, UNDERSTANDING OF THE INDUSTRY AND CAREER OPTIONS, AND SPECIFIC CERTIFICATIONS TO ACCESS INTERVIEWS AND HIRING REPRESENTATIVES WITHOUT OUR HELP. NEXTOP BRIDGES THE GAP FOR COMPANIES INTERESTED IN VETERAN TALENT. STILL, THEY NEED TO LEARN HOW TO DIRECTLY ACCESS AND CONNECT WITH THE POPULATION, ESPECIALLY BEFORE OR AS THEY DEPART THE ACTIVE-DUTY COMPONENT.EVENTS: NEXTOP PLANS AND HOSTS VARIOUS SEMINARS, WORKSHOPS, AND OTHER PROGRAMMING EVENTS RELATED TO VETERAN WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, EMPLOYMENT, NETWORKING, AND CORPORATE PARTNER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT PROGRAMMING, TYPICALLY THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. MENTORSHIP: MILITARY CANDIDATES CAN EASILY REGISTER VIA OUR WEBSITE AND ARE ASSESSED BY OUR STAFF DURING A THOROUGH INTAKE. THEY ARE ASSIGNED TO ONE OF OUR EMPLOYMENT COORDINATORS, WHO COACH AND MENTOR THEM THROUGHOUT THE EMPLOYMENT PREPARATION AND PLACEMENT PROCESSAND BEYOND. ADDITIONALLY, NEXTOP WORKS CLOSELY TO CONNECT OUR CANDIDATES AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS WITH OTHER MENTORSHIP PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES, ENSURING A SUCCESSFUL TRANSITION TO THE CIVILIAN COMMUNITY AND WORKFORCE FOR BOTH THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES. CORPORATE PARTNERS: NEXTOP'S CORPORATE PARTNERS ARE AMONG THE MOST WELL-RESPECTED INDUSTRY COMPANIES THAT TRULY VALUE MILITARY SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE. NEXTOP WORKS WITH OUR CORPORATE PARTNERS TO DEVELOP A MILITARY-FRIENDLY WORK CULTURE CENTERED ON ESTABLISHING A VETERAN AFFINITY GROUP AND STREAMLINING MILITARY RECRUITING PROCESSES. NEXTOP MEETS COMPANIES WHERE THEY ARE TO SUPPORT THEIR VETERAN EMPLOYMENT GOALS, WHETHER CONSULTING ON ESTABLISHING VETERAN HIRING INITIATIVES, EVALUATING PAST PROGRESS AND ESTABLISHING NEXT STEPS, OR SPEAKING TO KEY STAKEHOLDER GROUPS WITHIN COMPANIES TO HIGHLIGHT THE VETERAN EMPLOYEE VALUE PROPOSITION AND DISPEL ANY MYTHS.
