Description
Approximately 200,000 service members transition from military to civilian life each year in the United States. This shift is a complex journey and success hinges on more than just securing a new job. Recent research highlights interconnected challenges requiring more holistic considerations of financial stressors, household food security, and integration into the civilian workforce.
