The purpose of the Public and Community Service Employment block is to encourage and assist you and your spouse to register for and enter public and community service employment.
You can put your military training and skills to greater use continuing your service at the National, state, and local levels. Military service has prepared and equipped you with unique experiences possessed by only a small percentage of the American population. In planning for your transition options, consider tools and resources available to help you get your name in front of non-profit, public and community service organizations such as schools, hospitals, law enforcement agencies, social service agencies and many more for employment opportunities.
This unique career field enables you to lend your military training to help address compelling community issues and challenges in education, public safety, health and human services, the environment, and more. Opportunities may include efforts to tutor children and adults, rehabilitate housing for low-income families, immunize children against preventable diseases, respond to natural disasters, mentor young people, help persons with disabilities and the elderly maintain their independence, and manage after-school programs for social and academic enrichment, to name a few.
At the federal government level, extraordinary efforts are being made to attract trained military talent into the federal workforce. Transitioning Service members (soon to be veterans) have technical skills in areas of critical importance, and many also already have security clearances required for some federal positions.
There are as many reasons to serve as there are people who serve--from solving problems in your community to sharing your skills to serving your country. If you are interested in continuing to serve America, you are encouraged to explore public or community service options.
