She was matched to the job of dedicated cloud analyst apprentice using the Amazon Military Skills Translator, or MST, program, which launched in February 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Beau Higgins, senior manager of Military Talent Acquisition at Amazon, the company improves the lives of military veterans and their families globally by delivering a range of programs to address critical challenges facing the military community with a focus on employment, employee development and caring for veterans in need \u2014 including ATAP, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/education-transition\/2021\/01\/06\/dod-skillbridge-the-best-military-transition-program-you-didnt-know-existed\/\" target=\"_blank\">the SkillBridge program<\/a>, the Diversity and Hiring program, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJust last year, we pledged to hire over 100,000 U.S. veterans and military spouses by 2024, building on our commitment to military families after far exceeding our pledge to hire 25,000 by 2021,\u201d Higgins said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of early August 2022, Amazon has used the MST platform to hire 128 veterans and their spouses. The platform\u2019s AI-capabilities help easily translate military occupational specialties into tangible skills that align with roles at Amazon, said Higgins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a leader in technical recruitment solutions, Oplign, whose mission is to \u201cGet America Working,\u201d was a natural partner in helping Amazon achieve this goal. \u201cThey have developed a customized skills-mapping platform, unique to Amazon, that matches eligible candidates to open roles in the company,\u201d Higgins said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Michael Grow, CEO at Oplign, said, \u201cAmazon recognizes the important role veterans play in their operation, but because of the huge volume of applicants, their talent acquisition staff would be swamped on a daily basis. In our early conversations, Military Affairs Senior Manager Beau Higgins asked for a \u2018people-sorter,\u2019 and we guess that\u2019s what we gave him through our AI-driven tool, which we continue to optimize for Amazon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oplign, a veteran-owned and operated company, works because it works for everyone, service member or not, said Grow. \u201cHowever, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/education-transition\/\" target=\"_blank\">veterans and transitioning service members<\/a> have an additional challenge beyond that of civilians in that their skills, experiences and certifications are similar to what you\u2019d find in the civilian workforce, but are worded differently or are on technology systems that don\u2019t exist in the civilian world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is a huge challenge for both companies and the veteran to overcome and it is often easier for companies to simply ignore veterans,\u201d he said. \u201cAll the founders of the firm struggled with our military transition in one way or another, so we understand the stress it puts on veterans and their families.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe transition from active duty to civilian can be daunting,\u201d Garcia said, \u201cbut Amazon has created a process that helped me go from job seeker to job offer in about three weeks \u2014 this was invaluable for me. I am proud to be part of a positive work environment where people look forward to going to work every day. This makes me excited to be here, and I look forward to being an advocate for other veterans to join the program.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the help of Oplign, Amazon is using artificial intelligence to match skill sets of veterans and their spouses to careers post-service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2684,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":7,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[101,7,23,93,25,19],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3818],"class_list":["post-5082","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-education-transition","category-home","category-middle-column","category-newsletters","category-veterans"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"S63GQA6XHZHRHGY4ZI2MX5KZ5I","arc_canonical_url":"\/education-transition\/2022\/08\/14\/high-tech-tools-help-veterans-find-tech-careers\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
