Finding Help at Transition Assistance Offices
You might be reluctant to start looking for a job or making a career change once you have
returned home. Career changes are, however, a common part of American life. Most people
change careers at least three times in their lives.
Career One-Stop Centers have programs and counselors to assist you and your family
members in seeking employment in government and the private sector. Those who have access to
or live near a major military installation can also get transition and employment assistance from
the Transition/Army Career and Alumni Program (ACAP) Office or a Navy Command Career
Counselor. Examples of some employment assistance services available at your Career One-Stop
Centers and Transition/ACAP Offices are listed below:
-
Workshops and seminars: A variety of workshops and seminars are available through
your Career One-Stop Centers and Transition Assistance Office to help you and your spouse become
more competitive in the job market. Topics include enhancing job search skills, goal setting,
and preparation of standard and optional forms for federal civil service employment, resumes, and
interviewing techniques.
-
Training: Some Career One-Stop Centers and Transition Assistance Offices may offer
occupational skills training for those seeking entry-level classes in typing, word processing, and
data entry. In addition you’ll find helpful articles about writing resumes, dressing for
success, interviewing techniques, and how to work a job fair at
