Challenge:
The United States Army was faced with the challenge of reintegrating a significant number of wounded warriors returning from Iraq into civilian life. These individuals, while highly trained and skilled, were unable to continue their military service due to their injuries. The transition to civilian careers required a thoughtful approach that recognized their service, skills, and personal circumstances.
Solution:
In collaboration with the Wounded Warriors organization, Futures developed a bespoke program tailored to assess and translate the unique skills, interests, and military training of these veterans into civilian career opportunities. The program began with a thorough identification process, mapping military competencies to equivalent civilian job requirements.
Once career aspirations were established, Futures aligned all necessary additional training and credentialing required for their new roles. Our commitment extended beyond professional development, also providing comprehensive support for the warriors and their families throughout the transition period. This holistic approach ensured that they were not only job-ready but also received the necessary support to navigate the changes in their professional and personal lives.
Outcome:
The program was highly successful, aiding over 18,000 wounded warriors in their transition to fulfilling civilian careers. The strategic guidance and support provided by Futures were instrumental in achieving a seamless transition for these veterans, contributing to their well-being and financial stability.
Key Highlights:
Development of a skill translation program for military-to-civilian career transitions.
Partnership with the Wounded Warriors organization to facilitate program delivery.
Personalized career pathway planning based on individual skills, interests, and training.
Provision of necessary training and credentialing for selected civilian careers.
Extensive support for warriors and their families during the transition.
Summary:
This case demonstrates Futures' commitment to impactful and empathetic workforce solutions, particularly for those who have served their country. The successful outcome of the program positions Futures as a leader in developing transition pathways for veterans. Moving forward, the company is poised to replicate this success on larger scales and across different sectors, ensuring that every individual has the opportunity to thrive in their post-service career.
