This week on Oscar Mike Radio, I welcomed back Steven Vincent was on Oscar Mike Radio 410 in August 2024. We dove into the unique challenges veterans encounter when transitioning to civilian careers—a timely discussion as we approach Veterans Day.
Steven Vincent, a Navy veteran with 25 years of service, and Caitlin Yelinek, Executive Director of Talent Management at T.I.A.G. Stephen and Caitlin bring a wealth of experience and insight into helping veterans succeed in the civilian workforce. I learned a lot about how companies work with their Veteran employees to improve the career options available to Veterans. Steven emphasized the power of networking and the critical role that leadership support plays in a veteran’s transition. Caitlin discussed the importance of building effective veteran hiring programs and highlighted the resources available to support these efforts. Together, they explored practical tools like LinkedIn, the DOD SkillBridge, and the Microsoft SSA program to bridge the gap for veterans entering the civilian sector.
Throughout the episode, Steven and Caitlin stressed the importance of relationship-building with employers and leveraging available support systems. Watch and listen in to gain valuable advice for veterans, and anyone seeking to support them in their career journeys.
