Moving forward, the Task Force will be expanding its efforts to assist states in translating military training and experience into credit towards professional licensure. The objectives of this initiative will be to accelerate states’ occupational licensing processes and to streamline approaches for assessing the equivalency of military training and experience.
Ensuring that our service members leave the military with the ability to transfer their education and training to the civilian job market and can use their skills in whatever state they choose to call home isn’t just the right thing to do, it is the smart thing to do for our economy, as the First Lady pointed out:
If we do this, we won’t just be upholding our values and honoring our troops… we’ll be lowering the unemployment rate.
We’ll be improving our health care system.
We’ll be boosting economic growth in this country.
And we’ll be strengthening our country not just for now, but for the years ahead.
And in the end, that’s really what Joining Forces is all about.
It’s not just about supporting our heroes while they’re on the battlefield.
It’s about standing with them ...and their families when they come home. It's a forever commitment
