The document discusses barriers to hiring military veterans in the civilian workforce and proposes three steps to support veteran hiring: 1) Educate veterans on translating their military skills to civilian jobs and opportunities available to them. 2) Educate employers on the value veterans bring and resources available to support hiring them. 3) Provide resources like job boards, webinars, and one-on-one help to help veterans and employers overcome barriers in the hiring process. The overall goal is to better prepare both veterans and employers to support a smooth transition from military to civilian employment.
