Hero2Hired



 
We know that searching for a new job is a big undertaking. That’s why Hero2Hired (H2H) was created: to make it easy for Reserve Component service members to connect to and find jobs with mili-tary-friendly companies. Service Members who post their resume on H2H receive in state support through the Joint Employment Coordi-nation Program. The Service members are contacted by the Employ-ment staff and each resume is reviewed. Employers who sign up on the website are also contacted by the employment staff. Another way to create partnerships and assist employers and service members. Make sure to hand out the employment information for those un-employed service members during briefings and conferences!

Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Spouses


The EBV-F program is an education and training program offered by the Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University and the Florida State University College of Business. The program leverages the flexibility inherent in small business ownership to provide a vocational and economic "path-forward" for military family members who are now caregivers to a wounded warrior, the surviving spouse of a military member who gave his or her life in service to our country and active duty military spouses.

The EBV-F program integrates training in small business management, with caregiver and family issues, positioning the family member to launch and grow a small business in a way that is complementary or enhancing to other family responsibilities. Modeled after the existing Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities (EBV) initiative, the EBV Families program will be offered without any cost to accepted applicants.

Applications will be accepted from:

An eligible family member is a spouse, parent, sibling, adult child or other first-degree family member who plays a support role (health, educational, work-related, or in any other way) for the veteran. (Applicant does not need to be a caregiver designated by the VA.)

The surviving spouse or adult child of a soldier, sailor, airman, coast guardsman or Marine (active, Guard or Reserves) who lost their life while serving in the military post-9/11.

Spouses of active duty military currently serving may also apply.

Requirements:

A complete application includes:

·         A complete, filled out application (attached)

·         2 letters of recommendation

·         A current resume

Learn more about EBV-F @ http://whitman.syr.edu/ebv/programs/families/

We are now accepting applications at Syracuse University. The dates for the SU program are March 8 – 15, 2013. The application deadline is February 6, 2013.

*EBV-F is a completive program, but if accepted is offered at 100% zero cost to participants due to generous corporate and private donations.  The courses do not require use of GI Bill benefits.
