Listen "How to Tap into Veteran Talent"
Episode Synopsis
Talent Wars continues season two by exploring an often-overlooked talent pipeline: America's 200,000 annual military-to-civilian transitions. Host Patience Fairbrother sits down with Jason C. Anderson, Founder and CEO of PreVeteran, to discuss why traditional veteran hiring approaches fall short and how communities can better support this valuable talent pool. Jason brings a unique perspective as both a 24-year Air Force veteran who experienced the transition challenges firsthand and an entrepreneur solving the problem systematically. Join Patience and Jason as they dive into the hidden challenges veterans face when entering civilian careers, from the generalist-to-specialist mindset shift to navigating consensus-driven business processes, and how companies and communities can better support them. This episode reveals why veterans need specialized transition training and how smart communities and employers can create competitive advantages by properly supporting this talent pipeline. Listen to the full episode to learn how your community can become truly veteran-friendly and turn military transitions into long-term economic wins.
