MAYNARD, Mass. -- (Business Wire)
Monster Worldwide (NYSE: MWW), the worldwide leader in connecting people
to job opportunities, and Military.com, the nation’s largest military
and veteran membership organization, showcase their series of
initiatives to honor veterans in the workforce and to connect
transitioning service members with meaningful employment opportunities.
The Military Skills Translator, Veteran Virtual Career Fairs, the
upcoming release of the Veterans Talent Index and the December Veterans
Employment summit are efforts indicative of the organization’s
commitment to serving the full spectrum of veteran employment needs.
Monster already provides employers with tools that help them attract
veteran talent on a regular basis, including veteran friendly job
postings, veteran power resume search tools and access to the Military
Career Ad Network.
“Veterans often have a hard time translating their own skills and
shifting their mindset out of military culture and into civilian culture
when talking to a hiring manager,” said retired Rear Admiral “T”
McCreary, Vice President at Monster Worldwide and president of Military
Advantage. “Conversely, industries and companies that do not take the
extra time to learn about a veteran’s skills are missing a highly
trained worker who could easily fill part of the job gap that is being
attributed to the lack of a skilled workforce.”
Military Skills Translator
The job search process for veterans continues to be unfamiliar and lacks
familiar structure for these men and women. Similarly for employers,
locating veteran talent and aligning military experience to role
requirements, has been a great challenge. Monster and Military.com’s
‘Military Skills Translator’ converts military specialties into civilian
occupations and identifies similar occupations for the user to consider.
The product also features career paths other veterans with similar
backgrounds have taken and provides networking between veterans and
transitioning personnel for mentorship on education opportunities,
transition challenges and career advice based on job specialty.
Veterans Virtual Career Fairs
Monster and Military.com are committed to veteran employment issues on
an ongoing basis. The company will continue to host virtual career fairs
to give veterans yet another tool to help get them back to work. The
next Veterans Virtual Career Fair will run November 13-15th
and is designed as an easy one-stop-shop to connect veteran seekers with
the 30+ employers participating in the career fair who are looking for
veterans who have strong team-oriented and leadership qualities.
Veterans Talent Index
Monster.com will release the third Veterans
Talent Index (VTI) on November 15, in conjunction with Monster’s
participation at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s “Hiring Our Heroes”
event. The VTI, first introduced in November 2011, offers a snapshot of
the current veteran hiring landscape in order to help connect veterans
and employers more effectively. As this is our third VTI report, we can
now focus on trends and emerging issues, which will enable us to provide
insights and recommendations to help close the veterans’ employment gap.
National Veterans Employment Summit
On December 12, Monster will host a National Veterans Employment Summit
in Washington, D.C., where leaders from both the public and private
sectors will meet to share best practices and discuss the next
challenges to be faced in the veterans’ employment arena.
