Navigating the road from military service to civilian life can be difficult. Among the many challenges is finding a new career in the civilian sector.
This week the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Joint Base San Antonio will host a career summit for active duty service members, Guard and reserve, veterans and military spouses. Aimed at providing tools and best practices to transition smoothly into civilian life, the summit will feature networking opportunities, workshops and town hall-style discussions.
