Veteran Jobs are Competitive, Applicants Can Boost Edge through Advanced Degree

Veteran jobs can be found in a range of leading business sectors from the lucrative financial market (the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that an additional 1 million jobs will be added to the already 8 million-strong financial services workforce) to advanced technical, engineering positions. What matters most is your ability to articulate your transferable skills to future employers – and having a four-year or advanced degree on top of your military background can give you a potential edge over peer candidates for the same position.

Besides the skills you learned through your military occupational specialty (MOS) and military training experience, civilian employers open up their doors and offer veterans jobs because of their desirable character traits – like discipline, integrity, and trustworthiness. U.S. military veterans have many additional advantages in the workplace largely because while they were in the military, veterans learned responsibility to manage multiple tasks while under a great deal of stress. This ‘multi-tasking’ mentality coupled with an excellent work ethic can open up many possibilities for veterans seeking jobs.

In addition to military service, veterans can also take advantage of military incentives to receive an education and earn a degree. A four-year or master’s degree from an accredited (DETC), military friendly university like Henley-Putnam can give you a competitive learning edge that will equip you with advanced skills in critical national security issues like intelligence, counterterrorism, and protection. Our Bachelor and Master of Science Degrees in Intelligence Management, Terrorism and Counterterrorism Studies, and Management of Personal Protection, as well as our Doctorate Degree program in Strategic Security, are all taught 100% online by expert faculty with real world experience. Henley-Putnam is an excellent choice for veterans seeking jobs.
