And if you are like most separating military or veterans, you are a little anxious about your next career move. Which is why we are inviting you to attend/join us at one of the following career-related events taking place in San Diego during the month of September. We hope attending one of these events and taking advantage of the services offered, will help you successfully prepare your next mission in life.

September Community Reintegration Seminars

To Help You Prepare For The Next Mission

Recently the San Diego Veteran's Coalition (www.sdvetscoalition.org) launched the Transition & Integration Project (TIP), aimed at addressing the reintegration challenges faced by returning military personnel, veterans, guard/reserves, and their spouses in San Diego. By integrating services, coordinating activities, and leveraging resources among member organization, the TIP will help close gaps and enhance the transition experience.

TIP activities for September are as follows -

a. Community Reintegration Training: Learning about the community is essential to your successful reintegration which is why through several of our member veteran service organizations we are offering community reintegration training at the below off-base locations to help military personnel and their families successfully reintegrate into civilian communities:

MYTT365 also connects participants to Civilian Transition Assistance Advisors (TAA) who are available at no cost to all military personnel and their families through the platform. Other features include a Veteran-Friendly Employer directory to help you find your next employer.

c. Warm Hand-Off to the Community: Through a national partnership with www.ETSSponsorship.org, SDVC provides one-to-one sponsorship for transitioning military personnel. This is done by connecting them directly to participating sponsors in their city of choice through the ONWARDOPS program. As the ONWARDOPS Regional Community Integration Coordinator (CIC), SDVC helps ensure a seamless transition process by facilitating a warm hand-off from the Department of Defense to the San Diego Community. This guarantees that veterans receive the necessary support and guidance as they navigate their post-military journey. We utilize the OnwardOps.org national tracking and referral system to make this process as smooth as possible. Active duty members can enroll in OnwardOps at www.onwardops.org .
