ReThink Ready

Veterans are ready, willing, and able to take on any work opportunity put before them. Yet, they still face some challenges, especially when it comes to what employers and hiring managers still they can do.

In this series, we highlight people, organizations, and programs that are helping change these misperceptions and are urging everyone to ReThink Ready.
