Special operations forces — such as Army Rangers, Green Berets and Navy SEALs— make up just 3% of the military. That’s because it takes highly skilled and adaptable individuals to carry out some of the military’s most challenging missions. But what happens when these individuals transition to civilian life? How do you match their skill level and training with a corporate career? Learn how our latest #PurplePaladin, 51 Vets, helps veterans of elite military communities translate their unique experiences into rewarding leadership positions in the private sector, helping them find meaningful careers that match their rare skill sets. https://gt-us.co/3U9axKc #TransitioningMilitary #SpecialForces #FinancialServices #PrivateEquity

The video below shows the Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group's flight operations. I still think it is amazing that these are younger people doing this work, and yet we typically won't trust them with other than entry-level jobs. Why do you think that is? In my opinion, we should provide veterans with better job opportunities because their military service equips them with valuable skills and qualities. Veterans possess discipline, leadership, problem-solving abilities, adaptability, and strong work ethics. However, there is a misconception that limits them to entry-level roles. This misconception may stem from a lack of understanding of their capabilities, difficulties translating military experience into civilian terms, and biases.

Something to think about

Some really great thoughts on #Allyship from Carmen Leishman on behalf of the Veterans Workstream of the Diversity Project - Investment Industry. One point that particularly resonated with me "[veterans] will quickly demonstrate....how integral they can be to your bottom line and how integral they can be to your business". In my experience, whilst those leaving the military may not have experience of the investment management industry, their skillset and training allow them to integrate and add value far quicker than many expect. Allyship means giving veterans the opportunity and time to demonstrate these skills, that will ultimately benefit the businesses in which they work and the industry as a whole.
