Operation Career Advancement

Transitioning from military service to a civilian career can feel like stepping into a completely new operational environment. The mission may change - but the leadership, discipline, and problem-solving skills developed in the military remain powerful assets.

Join us for Operation Career Advancement, a special live panel discussion bringing together veterans who have successfully navigated the transition and built thriving careers in project management and leadership roles.

In this engaging conversation, our panelists will share real stories from their own transition journeys - what surprised them, what challenges they faced, and how professional certifications like the Project Management Professional (PMP®) helped translate their military experience into a language that civilian employers understand and value.

Whether you are currently serving, preparing to transition, or already navigating the civilian workforce, this session will offer practical guidance, encouragement, and a clear look at how you can leverage your military experience to build your next chapter.

Expect a conversation filled with:
- Honest transition stories
- Career advice from veterans who’ve been in your boots
- Insights into how the PMP certification can open doors
- Practical tips for translating military leadership into civilian career success

Bring your questions. Share your voice. Be part of the mission.
