Background

Every year, thousands of Regular and Reserve Forces members transition from the military without guidance on how to find employment in the private and public sectors. During their military service, members develop unique skills from first-class training and experiences that make them vital assets to the civilian workforce. VAC is working on a strategy to connect Veterans and employers to leverage these skills resulting in finding meaningful employment after service.

To help develop the National Veterans Employment Strategy, we consulted with members of the Veteran and employer community from 19 September to 31 October 2022.

VAC promoted the consultation on all social media channels, My VAC Account, via email, and in the Salute! newsletter to help us reach as many Veterans and stakeholders as possible.
