“Veterans bring valuable transferable skills from military service, including leadership, adaptability, teamwork, and problem-solving,” said Anacelis Collazo, Jobs and Benefits Administrator. “Entering the civilian workforce is not about starting over. It is about recognizing how those experiences translate into strengths that today’s employers value and learning how to leverage them for long-term success. The Veterans Networking Group helps make that possible.”
