This proposal suggests a class for veterans at Walmart that teaches skills translation instead of resume/interview help. It would help veterans translate military skills like conflict management to civilian workplace skills. The targeted audience is unemployed/underemployed veterans. The week-long class would cover topics like conflict management, management principles, networking and local veteran resources. The goal is to expand Walmart's influence and help veterans find relevant employment.

Abstract:
In this presentation, we will describe the "Spark Kernel" which enables applications, such as end-user facing and interactive applications, to interface with Spark clusters. It provides a gateway to define and run Spark tasks and to collect results from a cluster without the friction associated with shipping jars and reading results from peripheral systems. Using the Spark Kernel as a proxy, applications can be hosted remotely from Spark.

Explain where your assessment was similar and different from theirs. Provide constructive feedback on your peers' proposed strategies. I have provided you with two postings from my peers. I need a response with at least one reference to each peers's posting. I pay $20.00.
First peer posting
Military Families
Military personnel returning to civilian life affects not only the military personnel, the return affects the military person’s family, wives, husbands, children, parents, etc. are all affected in this transition. Common challenges for returning military personnel include; trying to relate to people who are outside of the military who do not understand what the military person has experienced, trying to fit into a family who had adjusted to the military person’s absence, trying to reconnect with their children, who may not have seen their parent for a long time, and trying to reconnect with a unfamiliar society which have different rules than the military. ("Military personnel," 2012)
Military Jobs and Careers
Not only do military personnel have to learn to reconnect with their families, they have to learn how find a job, or a career outside of the military. In the military, there is structure. Everyone knows their place. In civilian life, structure takes time to build, the military person has to relearn how to adjust to the uncertainty of outside life. Depending on the age of the military person, or if they had a career in the military, they may have to learn how to complete a resume, apply for a job, and learn how to interview for a job. Military personnel also have to figure out which of their military skills will convert to civilian jobs. Once in the job or career, military people have to understand, in the civilian world, jobs are based on individual progress, where as in the military, assignments are completed as a group effort. ("Military personnel," 2012)
Advocating for Career and Education Development
The strategies for advocating for military personnel’s career and education development are to help the military personnel gain access to services provided by the military. Although there military social workers who help the military personnel gain access to these services, they are small in number compared to how m.
STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS PLAN 1
1. Description
a) Find a career you enjoy and get someone to pay you for doing it. I would like to provide indepth resume counselling to perspective job seekers. Redevelop the resume writing training for transitioning Army veterans. Apply this training worldwide as personnel exit the service to pursue other career fields.
b) The reason I chose this speech is because it was a very awkward process I experienced just two short years ago. There is a mandatory five-day Transition Assistance Program training every Soldier must attend before transitioning out of the Army. I personally felt the process just touched the surface of what you will face in the civilian world once you transitioned. I went through the mandatory It’s a process that you will continue to refine over and over.2. Goal
a) The goal is to provide one on one assistance to help create the individual for the target job market. Whether that is based off the individual’s military background or providing assistance to individuals looking to embark on a new career field.
3. Audience
a) Who is your target audience? The audience is the program manager for the Transition Assistance Program, senior military personnel, senior government personnel as well as the individuals who will be providing this assistance to the transitioning war fighters. This modification in the transition program will add additional hours overall to the mandatory requirement for all transitioning Soldiers, but it will provide them with the necessary head start needed to keep their lives in balance. i.

ii. What is the demographic characteristics will the audience comprise?
Professional decision makers who can approve this course of action based on perceived results to increase the level of service provided to service men and women looking to transition into the workforce.
iii. What is your relationship to the audience?
I would work as an independent contractor for the government. I retired from the military April 2016. I found this process to be extremely confusing. The anxiety you experience from knowing you are leaving the military and you do not have a secures source of income to supplement the military annuity you will be receiving is simply nerve wracking. After the five-day training I received, I felt no more confident about my upcoming job search than I did before I participated in the training. Speaking to several participants in the training, the consensus was the training was a check the block for the Army to say all individuals were transitioned better prepared for the outside world.

2. Veteran’s Outreach
This PowerPoint serves as an initial proposal for Walmart to offer a
class for Veterans, not to help Veterans improve their interview
skills or edit their resume, but to help Veterans translate the work
skills they learned in the military into civilian work place skills. This
class would take a completely different approach compared to what
other organizations offer Veterans. In turn, Walmart could expand
it’s network and sphere of influence.
3. Veteran’s Outreach
STATISTICS –
1. According to Ted Wadsworth (2012), Helmets to
Hardhats Marketing Coordinator, “Each year, over
250,000 Veterans leave the U.S. military to enter
the civilian job market.”
2. According to the Department of Veterans
Affairs, as of September 2012, there were nearly
900,000 Veterans in Ohio. Of those 900,000
Veterans, there were 649,000 wartime
Veterans, 198,000 Gulf War Veterans and 317,000
Vietnam Veterans.
3. According to Tom Philpott (2012), a reporter with
JDNews.com, the Army will cut 60,000 Soldiers
from their ranks by 2017. The Marine Corps will
cut 5,000 Marines from their ranks each year over
the next four years.
4. Veteran’s Outreach
BACKGROUND –
According to Ohio.com, Ohio is sixth in the United States for having
the largest Veteran population (2012). Communicating with nearly
900,000 Veterans about the benefits their entitled to on the local,
state and federal level poses a challenge to both the military and
individual states receiving separating military members. The
military transition assistance program is not uniform throughout
the Armed Services. While the Marine Corps gives all separating
Marines two weeks of classes and workshops on a variety of topics
ranging from building a resume to interview techniques, the Air
Force only recently transitioned from a voluntary transition
assistance class to making the class mandatory for separating
Airmen.
5. Veteran’s Outreach
A lot of information can get lost throughout the transition process from
military member to Veteran, because there is a lack of uniformity. For
instance, I never learned about the county’s Veteran Service Commission
in my transition class. When I got back to Ohio, there were no classes I
knew about to help me with interviewing. The biggest challenge in getting
Veterans employed and job ready is effectively communicating with
Veterans about their benefits and helping them translate their military
skills into concise business verbiage civilian executives can relate to.
Veterans need to translate the work skills they learned in the military to
relevant work skills they can use in the civilian work environment like
conflict management.
6. Conflict Management
1. For many military members, conflict management might mean
effectively using an M-16 rifle or disarming an improvised
explosive devise for instance. Or, it might mean practicing
martial arts under the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program
(MCMAP). Arguably, many military members don’t know how to
effectively manage conflict in the workplace. These skills need
brought to a new level.
7. Veteran’s Outreach
THE PROGRAM –
TARGET AUDIENCE – the primary target audience would be
unemployed Veterans and the second target audience would be
underemployed Veterans. Additionally, those who work with Veterans
would benefit from this class by giving them a new perspective on
what employers expect from employees.
TIMEFRAME – This would be a week long class. Many unemployed
Veterans struggle finding transportation to and from appointments.
So, the shorter this class/workshop is the better.
CONTENT – This workshop will cover the following lessons: conflict
management in the workplace, the five principles of successful
management and delegation, developing solutions that address the
source of the problem, developing employees through feedback and
solutions, reinforcing behavior through positive recognition, managing
up, networking, local Veteran resources and change management.
WHERE – This class would ideally be held at the store of learning at
Walmart. Additionally, this class could be used as a scouting tool for
HR to recruit highly qualified Veterans.
8. Veteran’s Outreach
How We’ll Get the Word Out to Veterans –
1. We’ll build a relationship with key local Veteran organizations
and state agencies (i.e. Job and Family Services). The
Cuyahoga County Veteran Service Commission has a terrific
and effective Veteran and employer outreach specialist, Bryan
A. McGown (also a retired Marine) who serves a variety of
Veterans on a daily basis who are either under or unemployed
and looking for new opportunities. Ideally, this person could
refer Veterans to this class.
2. We’ll communicate with the military services and gauge who is
getting out of the military and returning to Ohio. There are key
positions throughout the military we could coordinate with. For
instance, there is a Marine for Life coordinator in the local
Cleveland area who networks with Marines of all eras; even the
Marines who are currently exiting the Marine Corps.
