JBS Transition Experts

We increase veteran employment rate by helping transitioning military, veterans, and spouses/partners build their personal confidence and enhance their economic stability through job search skills training, practical tools, and one-on-one coaching that results in meaningful employment.

1. Equip 80-100 active military, veterans, and their spouses/partners with crucial job search skills;
2. Assist participants to obtain economic independence by meeting their career employment goals;

We continue to utilize trained business experts (volunteers) who understand today's tough job market and share their expertise with our veterans. This includes Human Resource Professionals, Hiring Managers, and more. By engaging 50+ volunteers, we keep our costs low and can focus our budget on the essentials needed for our unemployed veterans. That also creates an engaged business community. We continually improve our teaching and facilitating process through nightly evaluations and feedback.

We understand that there are many other issues that our veterans face besides employment. Therefore, we also partner and create alliances with numerous other non-profit, business, and community organizations to fill the gaps and needs of our military members.

We believe in empowering our participants. Therefore their success is strictly up to them. We provide proven, up-to-date tools and techniques, but they must put them to work. They are held accountable for their success.
Our one-on-one coaching and personalized approach is key. We keep classroom size small and cater to the time constraints of our population by offering night workshops for our active military members and spouses.

We have a strong, committed volunteer base that is growing, engaged business supporters, military support, hundreds of success stories to highlight our success and business savvy leadership.

We have a proven track record of success. With only one part-time staff (contract) and a contract grant writer we have been able to meet our goals and meet our financial obligations for many years. Under our growing leadership team, our goal is to obtain $150, 000+ in grants and support so we may hire an Executive Director. We have also added engaged members to our Board and increased our dedicated volunteer base every year. We have had two very successful Golf Fundraisers and will continue then to increase our profits each year.

Filling our classroom with participants is never an issue since most of our veterans are referred by past participants.

1) Continued success of our veterans - we maintain a 80%+ success rate; most of our participants are referred by "graduates"; many other veteran organizations refer veterans to us.
2) Increased volunteers, coaches - we have expanded our outreach and increased our number of volunteers and how many hours our volunteers work with us
3) Increased participants - We have expanded our reach to the Navy population in San Diego and now we reach all branches and locations through our virtual workshop series.
4) Increased donations - we hired a contract grant writer to support us and we have implemented an annual golf fundraiser.
