Career Transition Workshops

SNU VETS Center

Are you a veteran, transitioning service-member, or a family member supporting one? Join us on Monday, December 16, from 5:00–8:00 pm at Southern Nazarene University in the Heritage Room in Webster Commons for our Vets Career Transition Workshop #1, in coordination with the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs (ODVA) Career Transition Division.


This event is designed specifically for veterans, military spouses and families: to help you demilitarize your military experience, build a stronger civilian-job resume, and understand what civilian employers really want.

Why Attend?

Transitioning from military to civilian work can be challenging. Many veterans struggle to translate their MOS, military training, leadership and mission-oriented experience into a civilian resume and job search strategy that employers understand. Research shows workshops tailored for veterans significantly boost job-search confidence and clarity. 
At this workshop you will:

  • Get expert guidance on resume building for veterans, including how to highlight transferable skills.

  • Learn what employers across industries value most—and how to frame your experience accordingly.

  • Walk away with actionable tools for the job-hiring process: how to prepare, how to network, how to stand out.

  • Connect with fellow veterans, hiring practitioners, and career transition resources.

  • Enjoy light finger foods and a relaxed networking environment.

Who Should Attend?

This workshop is ideal for:

  • Veterans leaving or having left active duty or guard/reserve service

  • Military spouses and veteran families looking to support the transition

  • Those seeking the next civilian career, whether in private, public or nonprofit sector

  • Veterans considering further education, certification, or new career pathways
