“Operation HR: Career Guidance for Veterans, from Veterans”

Presenters: Maria Morales and David Cheatham

Are you a veteran who is interested in pursuing a career path in HR but just don’t know where to start? If you are a transitioning service member, veteran, student veteran, or pursuing a career change into HR, then please join the Tri-State HRMA’s Workforce Readiness Committee for a free webinar focused on resources and information that can assist you with taking your first steps to becoming an HR professional.

During this webinar, we will cover networking during the pandemic and resources that are available to aid you with translating your military skills and earning HR certifications. You will meet HR professionals and Veterans who have successfully transitioned into the HR field who will share information and resources to empower you to pursue your HR career path.

This event is scheduled for one hour from 7:00-8:00 pm ET.  BONUS:  Post webinar networking with HR Pros and fellow Veterans.  We look forward to seeing you at the event. Thank you for your service!
