ENCINO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ultimate Trade, a consulting, speaking and training firm, announces the release of “World Smart Veterans,” an e-book that helps veterans transition into civilian life by guiding them through the necessary steps of finding international trade jobs in the U.S.
More than 1.5 million post-war veterans have found themselves in the U.S. post-9/11. They join 2.5 million Gulf War-era veterans who entered back into the civilian world without any assistance. These vets all face similar challenges, including unemployment and homelessness. When it comes to finding employment, the biggest hurdle they experience is matching their skills, education and training from the military field to appropriate civilian jobs. Vets deserve to be seen and understood by potential global business employers who can appreciate their unique skill sets, values and discipline.
Dr. Leonard Wong, a research professor at the U.S. Army War College Strategic Studies Institute, points out in his work that “junior officers are being developed into creative, innovative, and independent leaders.” For employers who are looking to find and mold great leaders, they should realize that veterans are the perfect candidates. Dr. Wong attributes vets’ unique ability to stand out in the workplace to the ambiguous, complex, and unpredictable environment of post-war Iraq. This environment (albeit on a much smaller scale) is similar to how small and mid-sized businesses operate in the U.S. for many reasons. Some reasons why a veteran would be a great fit in any U.S. business include (but aren’t limited to): their capacity to make fast decisions on the front line, their diverse outlook and ability to speak multiple languages, and their commitment to quality.
“World Smart Veterans” provides veterans with the resources, tips, and opportunities they need to incorporate the skills and experience they acquired in the military, and it will ultimately end up leading to many vets becoming global entrepreneurs or international trade professionals in the U.S.
