The NASWA Veterans 2023 annual conference took place in Washington, D.C. in early August. WorkingNation conducted interviews for our Overheard series on hiring veterans and military spouses and helping service members successfully transition from military to civilian careers. NASWA staffers help the military-connected community access their skills in order to figure out how their military skills can translate into civilian careers. Much of their work is done at the American Job Centers, which – as NASWA explains – are “employment centers, not unemployment centers.”
