Student Veterans of America reposted this
Last year, Student Veterans of America was honored to contribute to LinkedIn's Veteran Opportunity Report, which highlighted a critical insight: veterans often underutilize their networks, missing out on valuable career resources and assistance. When it comes to student veterans, the issue goes beyond networking. Our own research shows that many student veterans don't feel supported by their campus career centers, whose services are tailored to traditional students. We have long dreamed of providing student veterans with a job search experience that’s tailored to their needs. Last fall, we announced that The Walt Disney Company’s Founding Sponsorship of the SVA Career Center had made this dream a reality. The SVA Career Center offers a variety of resources, starting with our specialized job board. This isn't just any job board; it’s a gateway to career opportunities, internships, scholarships, and the chance to gain industry-relevant experience while still in school. We’ve partnered with leading companies that recognize the unique strengths and skills veterans bring to the workforce. These partnerships create pathways to careers in high-demand fields – such as STEM, healthcare, business, and entertainment – providing practical experience that’s invaluable during and after education. And this is just the beginning. We're continuously adding services like resume-building workshops, webinars, and more tailored specifically to former service members and their families. We are deeply grateful to The Walt Disney Company, LinkedIn, and Lockheed Martin for their generous support of the SVA Career Center. Their commitment ensures that student veterans have access to the resources they need to succeed. If you’re a student veteran ready to take the next step in your career journey, explore the SVA Career Center. I’ll put a link in the comments. Let's connect and build a network that works for you.
