Toolkit Helps Separating Servicemembers

Week of September 06, 2010

The Pentagon's Wounded Warrior Care and Transition Policy Office recently developed the Career Decision Toolkit to help the 400,000-plus servicemembers who separate from the military each year have a smoother transition into civilian work. The toolkit helps separating servicemembers "write the narrative" of their experiences. It includes a CD and supportive documents. Its portability allows it to be used anywhere the servicemember is located. The toolkit is available in the military transition course for separation, at Transition Assistance Program centers, and at Soldier-and-Family and Fleet-and-Family support offices. For more transition resources, visit the Defense Department Transition Assistance Program website at Turbotap.org.
