THE CHALLENGE Making the transition back to civilian life and civilian work environments after serving in the military can be a difficult challenge, especially for the newer and younger generation of servicemen and women who were deployed several times to Iraq and Afghanistan.

The lack of access to adequate transitional counseling and services presents many with daunting challenges, such as finding employment, adjusting to the social environment of the civilian world, and rejoining civilian society can seem impossible to our nation’s heroes, as many are ill-equipped to handle and, in most cases, are unwilling (or don’t know how) to seek assistance to address.

“Our Mission is to Help Veterans Successfully Transition From The

Battlefront to the Homefront.”

"ʺThe present structure of the military really requires

intensive training on the front end (requiring) weeks of boot camp. But one of the things

we'ʹre finding is that there'ʹs not as much effort on the back end as those service members are separating and preparing to

enter the work force."ʺ — White House Staff comment after

President Obama announced the need for a “Reverse Boot Camp (REBOOT)” on August 5, 2011

“53% of 200,000 (106,000) transitioning military go on 22 weeks of unemployment insurance annually”

THERE IS A NEED FOR A REAL TRANSITION PROGRAM Survey results have shown that 81 percent of transitioning military personnel do not "feel fully prepared for the process of entering the job market." In response to this need, NVTSI created REBOOT Workshops™. REBOOT Workshops™ are designed to meet an acute need for robust military to civilian transition services.

THE SOLUTION


Through an initiative to help service members “REBOOT,” the National Veterans Transition Service Inc. (NVTSI) and its partners address transition issues at their root cause. REBOOT Workshops™ assist veterans and recently separated from service men and women in adequately transitioning from the military-to-civilian world by providing a three phased, 15-day intensive cognitive-behavioral educational transition assistance program.

REBOOT Workshops™

Week I: Personal Transition.Addresses personal effectiveness and wellbeingSpanning 13 multi-media modules, Week I uses video and audio sessions, written materials, exercises, practice interviews and self-assessment tools. In Week I participants will learn how their mind works for-and-against them, and how to manage positive and negative thoughts.

"ʺI am more confident in myself and I have learned that it might not be easy, however, it

is not that tough"ʺ — Dan LaPierre REBOOT Graduate Class 01





Week II: Military-to-Civilian Lifestyle Transition. Addresses living situation and community-life functioning.Focused on building family and community networks, Week II brings the participants closer to a successful transition through a series of discussions and exercises that enables them to identify the personal aspects of values, talents and strategies to develop a plan to achieve a meaningful purpose and vision in life.

Week III: Military-to-Civilian Career Transition. Addresses employment, career and education. Going beyond the 5-day workshops offered by TGPS at the time of separation, during Week III participants are given in-depth assistance on job preparation, resume writing, interviewing techniques, job searching, and career planning.

EMPLOYER PARTNERS As one of 85,000 employers in the region we are counting on your support to help ALL of our troops find their place as a civilians. Each year throughout San Diego County over 15,000 service members transition from military service with another 37,000 living in the area seeking a new life. Most of them struggle to enter the civilian job market despite the skills they developed in the military. !

“The toughest battle they will face is the journey home; as many have to battle - unemployment, homelessness, suicide, drug abuse, depression, and anxiety.” Ronne Froman, RADM (Ret), !

Recent surveys reveal that: !• Over 90% of returning service members do not feel ready to

enter the civilian job market. • A same number have not defined their new career goals and

are unclear about next steps. • Many struggle to overcome anxiety, self-doubt , and

negative thoughts. • A big number feel lost after living the in highly structured

and disciplined world of the military.

The current government-operated transition program focuses only on information about their benefits and resumes and falls short of mentally preparing our troops for the battle to return home. !To answer the call, we developed the REBOOT Workshop™. REBOOT is a three-week Workshop developed by the National Veterans Transition Services, Inc. (NVTSI) that has proven to be 98% successful in helping over 1300 transitioning service members and veterans win the battle by using evidence-based methods to help them create a new identity; discover their purpose/passion; and aligning their goals with a new career of their choice.* !Taking a innovative and holistic approach to learning, REBOOT Workshops™ builds upon a service member’s military training and skills to help participants redefine their personal identity, purpose in life, and desired occupation. Veterans are immersed in a reflective and engaging curriculum that successfully bridges the gap between military and civilian worlds.
