To address this, the authors of this report developed prototype toolkits that veterans, especially those in Army and Marine Corps enlisted combat arms occupations, can use to help describe their skills to potential civilian employers and that civilian employers can use to understand veteran job applicants' skills. In this report, the authors describe their methodology for developing the toolkits. In the first phase of the study, the authors developed a list of essential workplace skills, then created materials that show how these skills are developed through formal military training and education courses. In the second phase, they added to the list of essential workplace skills and expanded the materials to include vignettes illustrating how these skills are developed through military service members' on-the-job experience. The authors offer a number of insights on how the method could be improved and how it could be potentially applied to develop similar materials for broader groups of veterans."--RAND website. 500 $a "This research was sponsored by the Transition to Veterans Program Office of the Office of the Secretary of Defense."--RAND website. 650 0 $a Veterans $x Employment $z United States. 650 0 $a Veterans $x Vocational guidance $z United States. 650 0 $a Job descriptions $z United States $x Evaluation. 650 0 $a Armed Forces $x Vocational guidance. 650 0 $a Vocational qualifications. 650 0 $a Career changes $z United States $x Planning. 700 1 $a McCausland, Tracy C., $e author. 700 1 $a Shanley, Michael G., $e author. 700 1 $a Saavedra, Anna Rosefsky, $e author. 700 1 $a Martin, Jaclyn, $e author. 700 1 $a Wong, Jonathan P., $e author. 700 1 $a Clague, Angela, $e author. 700 1 $a Crowley, James C., $e author. 710 1 $a United States. $b Office of the Secretary of Defense, $b Office of the Secretary of Defense, $e sponsor. 710 2 $a National Defense Research Institute (U.S.). $b Forces and Resources Policy Center, $e issuing body. 710 2 $a Rand Corporation. $b National Security Research Division, $e issuing body. 710 2 $a Rand Corporation, $e publisher. 830 0 $a Research report (Rand Corporation) ; $v RR-1919-OSD. 856 41 $u https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR1919.html 856 41 $u http://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR1919.html 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20181010012407.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E4707B22CC5111E8987A620997128E48 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
