The Boulder Crest Retreat Veterans Career Path Seminar is made possible through generous funding from JPMorgan Chase. The seminar is also supported by in-kind contributions from the Wounded Warrior Project.
Schedule
The full-day event incorporates interactive sessions facilitated by Éclat Transitions LLC on the following topics: when to start your transition, financial considerations, professional reinvention, facing change with confidence and resilience, current occupational and labor market conditions, preparing impactful resumes and cover letters and effective interviewing techniques. Participants will be provided with an eTransition Guidebook to take home as well as a professional head shot courtesy of Picture Moments Photography. Informal “fireside chat” style lunch and dinner keynote sessions will provide participants with the opportunity to meet and connect with local CEOs and successful veteran entrepreneurs.
Benefits
It is estimated that service members who participate in transition assistance programs, on average, find their first post-military job three weeks sooner than those who do not. Seminar participants will receive valuable training and information that gives them an edge over other transitioning veterans. At the end of this intensive workshop, each veteran will walk away with helpful tools necessary for navigating a successful transition.
The workshop is limited to 24 participants in order to give each of our veterans the attention he or she deserves. Additional workshops will be announced throughout.
