New Digital Tool Aims to Help Texas’ Veterans, Military Spouses Compete in Job Market

AARP has launched the AARP Veterans and Military Spouses Job Center, a new digital platform bringing together valuable information and resources to help Texas’ 1.5M veterans and military spouses compete in today’s job market. The job center includes a new Veterans Career Advantage Course to build on career planning and skills development to help navigate the job market. According to an AARP survey, more than half (56%) of employers say experience and the use of skills in previous positions are 'very important' when evaluating applicants' skills. Here to talk about it is Troy Broussard. He is a Senior Advisor with the AARP Veterans and Military Families Initiative. He’s also a U.S. Army Desert Storm veteran.
