CNN Money Magazine picked Construction Manager as the job that would be a great fit for veterans. Citing the ease of transition, the applicable skills you already have, and the potential job growth in this field, the magazine encouraged veterans to look into this field. You should also know about the Federal Contractor Program (FCP), because it could lead you to your post-military career.

Federal Contractor Program

Through this program, any contractor or subcontractor that receives a contract of $25,000 or more from the federal government is required to take affirmative action in order to find and employ qualified veterans. This includes special disabled veterans, Vietnam veterans, and recently separated veterans. If you qualify, be sure to check for jobs in this category that are posted with your nearest state job service. This program does not guarantee referred veterans will be hired, but it may get you in the door!

Education and Training Options

For managerial positions like the one recommended by CNN Money, you need all of the skills you gathered in the service and most likely a bachelor's degree. Although real-world skills are essential, if you want to be promoted, you would be wise to obtain an education. Each branch of the service has assistance programs to help you earn your bachelor's degree and you can take classes while you are in the service, even online, for free. Coursework can lead to a degree and can also earn you promotion points. If you've already separated from the service, you can use your Montgomery GI Bill to get your education.
