  • Project Transition USA Group on LinkedIn ♦ Supporting Transitioning Military & Vets

    • May 2021 - Present
    • Greater Tampa Bay Area

    As a Veteran Advocate & Military Spouse, I understand making that transition can be difficult. As a member of this group, I assist transitioning military personnel and spouses on their journey to find a new career outside of the military using LinkedIn to make the right connections. Finding just that one right connection can make all the difference in the world.Project Transition USA is a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to helping transitioning military veterans & their families find meaningful and rewarding civilian careers. All members of our LinkedIn group work together to utilize the powerful networking & job search technology of LinkedIn in support of this goal.In addition to managing this group, Project Transition USA was the first to conduct a LinkedIn Job Search Workshop on a U.S. military base (MacDill Air Force Base, Home of U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) and U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) -- Nov. 16, 2012). They have been conducting free monthly workshops on MacDill ever since, and plan to expand these trainings to every military base in the country.We invite you to show your support by participating in our group and hiring U.S. veterans at every opportunity!Join our group here: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/Project-Transition-USA-4842096/aboutTo learn more about Project Transition USA, visit: www.ProjectTransitionUSA.org
