Samantha Santiago is an Army Veteran and active-duty military spouse. She is dedicated to using her experience to articulate the challenges faced by military families and Veterans. Here are her insights on continuing service.
Many Veterans and transitioning service members share a desire for camaraderie, the urge to work for a common purpose, and a responsibility toward others that continues as they pursue careers in the civilian workforce.
The transition is not without its challenges.
Through federal employment at VA, Veterans can find ways to continue making an impact and serving the nation. Whether starting a career after military service or seeking career growth and advancement opportunities, VA offers more than just a job.
As an employer, we have created an environment where Veterans can continue their mission of service. VA also invests in professional growth, mentorship, leadership development and educational opportunities for Veteran employees, helping to ensure that Veterans like you can transition successfully, develop new career skills and build long-term, fulfilling careers at VA.
For Veterans, the Veteran and Military Spouse Talent Engagement Program (VMSTEP) is available to provide guidance, resources and support to help you secure VA employment.
