Army Talent Pipeline - U.S. Army Transition Strategic Outreach (TSO)
The U.S. Army Transition Strategic Outreach Office (TSO) is the primary conduit for Employers and Industry to access the Army Talent Pipeline. Our staff of strategically-focused professionals serves as the Army’s preferred point-of-contact for Businesses and Hiring Managers – thereby facilitating the connection between transitioning Soldiers and potential job opportunities. We help Employers “navigate” the Army’s reintegration network by developing lasting Industry relationships. This targeted effort then builds the foundation for numerous long-term, value-added partnerships between Businesses and the Army.
Employers
The Army provides Employers with a labor pool rich in resources. Our Soldiers offer today’s most sought-after talents and skill-sets: proven leadership, dedicated discipline, and a strong work ethic. Soldiers are uniquely equipped to adapt to any situation in today’s fast-paced, high-stress working environment. They are innovative, diverse, motivated, tech-savvy, and eager to take personal initiative. Soldiers are ready to solve tough problems while thinking independently. They embrace collaboration, adaptability, integrity, and a culture of continuous learning. Soldiers display the ultimate in corporate citizenship and are truly dynamic members of a team.
Employers have found that Army-specific occupational specialties actually do translate to the core-competencies needed in the civilian sector. As members of the workforce, transitioning Soldiers provide maximum shareholder value to companies and organizations worldwide.
Many Employers are also eligible for tax credits by hiring transitioning Soldiers as well as disabled Veterans who may be out of work. As a result of new federal legislation, the Government offers substantial tax benefits when hiring Soldiers and those disabled Veterans recently unemployed. In addition, there are hundreds of State and National grants available to businesses seeking to target Veterans for employment opportunities.
Why use TSO? As a “one-stop-shop,” the office establishes a seamless, coordinated flow of information between Employers, our transition assistance Partners, and Active Duty, Reserve, and National Guard Soldiers. Partners include Army Commands and Directorates, Military and Veteran-centric programs, and Federal / Civic / State and Educational organizations.

Soldiers
The Army is committed to seeing that all Soldiers (Active, Guard, and Reserve) receive the support necessary to transition into a purposeful civilian career. The redesigned Army Transition Assistance Program provides Soldiers the tools, resources, education, training and counseling necessary to make informed career decisions. Recognizing the importance of relaying this message to the private sector, the Army created the Transition Strategic Outreach office to communicate with industry.
The Army is utilizing the “Hero 2 Hired” (H2H) web site to provide one primary location where Soldiers of all components, Veterans, and Family members can connect with potential Employers. The web-based application allows users to upload resumes and perform customized job searches. To connect and find opportunities with military-friendly companies, Soldiers and Veterans should go to https://h2h.jobs.
