E08: Military Transition into Civilian Sector

Trace welcomes to the show, Matt Roberge, retired Sergeant-Major in the Army and now proud Project Manager at Beam Suntory. Matt shares his experience transitioning out of the military into the civilian sector, getting help translating his military skills onto a resume, and how USA Cares helped him transition into a career that he now loves. While Matt tells us about Operation Military Cheer, the Beam Vets Employee Impact Group, and the major Strides Beam-Suntory is taking in their Diversity and Inclusion initiatives, he also reminds us how one small decision can have a profound impact on our life and the direction it takes. Matt also highlights the efforts of Beam veterans providing Kentucky and Regional veterans, through community support events, the opportunity to voice and highlight what veterans bring to the table. Trace touches on the many benefits company's receive when hiring veterans, from dedication and loyalty to work tax credits. https://usacares.org/programs/https://www.beamsuntory.com/en/diversity-and-inclusion  http://www.biacentralky.com/operation-military-cheer-toy-drive.html
