ROSE BARRACKS, Germany \u2013 The Hiring Our Heroes Career Summit returned to U.S. Army Garrison Bavaria, April 25, 2024, with a focus on transitioning service members, veterans, and military spouses.<\/p>\n

Nearly 200 community members visited the career summit. Those in attendance had the opportunity to attend job seeker workshops, panel discussions, military spouse workshops and a hiring fair.<\/p>\n

The deputy to the garrison commander, Dwayne D. Key II, made the leap from military service to the civilian sector and understands some of the challenges that come with the transition. He encouraged those transitioning soon to come to the summit to get hired, get coached, expand their networks, prepare their resumes, and prepare for interviews.<\/p>\n

Michele Crawford, director of military programs for USAG Bavaria, agreed with Key.<\/p>\n

\u201cTransitioning from military to civilian life can be a challenging journey; however, thanks to programs like the Hiring Our Heroes Career Summit, transitioning Soldiers and spouses have access to resources and employment opportunities here on site,\u201d said Crawford.<\/p>\n

During the hiring fair, 22 potential employers with over 6,400 job opportunities, were on-site to meet individually with job seekers.<\/p>\n

\u201cApproximately 200,000 transitioning service members leave the military each year; 10 percent of that population transitions from OCONUS locations (overseas), so it\u2019s imperative that we\u2019re here, bringing U.S. based employers seeking top-talent to level the playing field for our military members in Germany,\u201d said Dr. Yashika Neaves, Chief of Strategic Plans and Initiatives, Office of the Secretary of Defense, Military-Civilian Transition Office.<\/p>\n

Preparing transitioning service members and being confident about transitioning was at the forefront of the summit.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I believe is imperative are soft skills, also known as essential skills, that military service brings to every servicemember, which can be taken for granted, but being confident and knowing what the military has taught from basic training up and through career leadership courses, really helps shape an individual as a professional,\u201d said Neaves. \u201cYou\u2019ll find that when you step into professional settings, you\u2019re already bringing essential skills with you, such as how to deal with situations under pressure, decisiveness, attention to details, and how to lead. These essential skills are embedded and fostered in every servicemember throughout their military career.\u201d<\/p>\n

Planning to transition in the next 18 months, Master Sgt. Nicholas L. Paff, with the 589th Brigade Support Battalion, 41st Field Artillery Brigade, attended the summit in preparation for his own transition from active duty.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m seeing what options there are for senior leaders or junior leaders as they transition out of the military,\u201d Paff said. \u201cIt\u2019s important to know that if you\u2019re transitioning, there are opportunities available to you that you may not know yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
