From Hidden Workers to AI-Ready Talent; How Veterans Can Thrive in the Next Five Years

Breaking News: We Smashed Our 2026 Goal Early!
2026 is shaping up to be a landmark year for the VetJobs National Guard and Reserve Program!
We kicked off the year with 9 state-level partnerships and set an ambitious target: hit 30 by December. Thanks to the relentless drive of Kaitlyn Smith (our new Military Partnerships Manager) and the stalwart contributions of John Harris (Outreach Specialist), we didn't just meet our goal—we blew past it. We hit 31 state partnerships this month and counting!
But we aren't stopping there. Our target is to deliver dedicated support across all 54 states, territories, and DC that make up Guard Nation.
To make that happen, we launched our new Training Partnership option. This allows states with existing standalone employment programs to seamlessly plug their candidates into VetJobs’ robust library of training opportunities.
Why does this matter? Standard transition programs often focus on active-duty service members taking off the uniform for good. But Guard and Reserve members—and their families—live in a unique, continuous loop: juggling military duty, civilian careers, and home life every single day.
Building support tailored to this dual-life reality is our mission. As we look to the rest of 2026, we’re charging ahead to partner with the remaining states and expand our reach directly into Reserve Component Commands.
Onward and upward!

A Fund, Still Waiting
By Regina LeValley
Money in a donor-advised fund (DAF) is already set aside for good. It is simply waiting on a decision. Military families are waiting too, though on something more immediate: work that pays enough to close the gap rather than narrow it.
Read how one decision brings both kinds of waiting to an end.
