There are a lot of well-paying careers for veterans some which require just a little transitional training. For more information please visit: http://www.GreenCollarVets.org

2. When military veterans come back from war
they still need to support themselves as well as
their family members financially.
To be able to do this, they have to get jobs in
the civilian world.
There are a lot of well-paying careers for
veterans some which require just a little
transitional training.

3. There are also companies that are actively
involved in providing transitional training as
well as employment to the veterans.
They are doing this to appreciate the
dedication and service of the military
veterans at war in defense of the country.
McDonald's is one of the companies that
appreciate the veterans who have already
given so much in service to the country.

4. There are quite a number of people who have
successfully transferred their military skills as well
as experiences into satisfying as well as rewarding
careers at this company.
Some of these people started by working in
restaurants but right now they are members of
the corporate staff and franchises.
This is a challenge to young veterans out there
that they should not be hesitant to start with
smaller job opportunities.

5. At McDonald's, over 75% of the managers at
the restaurant started off by working behind
the counter.
Most of the companies that hire veterans offer
transition training programs that are aimed at
advancing the veterans careers.
The veterans that get injured and end up with
disabilities are part of some of the people
who get this training.

6. When the veterans return from war and they
have injuries that they got in combat, training
or off duty, most of them are given an
evaluation as well as a disability rating from
the Veteran Affairs Department of the United
States.
If they get a 10% or higher rating, they are
designated as disabled and therefore they
will be qualified for monthly payments
benefits of the VA Department as well as
employment.

7. Most of the disabled veterans find careers in
information technology (IT).
This is because these veterans gained IT skills while
still in the military and they only need a little
training as well as certification for them to secure
jobs in the civilian market.
Under the Vocational and Rehabilitation
Employment service of the Veteran Affairs
Department, 1,483 disabled veterans were able
to get IT jobs last year.

8. Still under information technology, some
disabled veterans have been able to pursue
successful careers in intelligence systems.
The National Geo-spatial Intelligence Agency
in partnership with OWF employs veterans
who have firsthand knowledge of the
enemies of the U.S.

9. Cisco Systems formed a Transition Training
Academy three years ago with the aim of
training the veterans to advance their skills in
information technology.
These will in turn improve the chances of the
veterans being hired by companies that have
vacancies in their information technology
departments.

10. There are many other careers that veterans
can pursue apart from IT.
For instance they can pursue teaching
especially to teach the
troops, engineering, project
management, and procurement.
With the diverse skills they gained in the field
they can pursue any career as long as they
get the right training.
