Hear about an upcoming TV show that covers veterans transferring into civilian life.

I am excited to share that PMI will be featured in the Lifetime television program Military Makeover: Operation Career on 28 September and 16 October at 7:30 AM ET hosted by Montel Williams. Operation Career captures the stories of military veterans transitioning out of the military and into civilian life. PMI’s segment features our very own membership product manager and military spouse, Kerry Brooks, and PMI member and veteran, Eric “Doc” Wright, who share their experiences with the military and how PMI is a valuable partner to US Military personnel, veterans, and spouses on the show.

 

PMI recognizes veterans’ unique qualities- strong leadership, strategic thinking, budget mindfulness, grace under pressure, and the ability to successfully complete a mission/project. These are all highly coveted skills in a project manager, and we want them to be part of the PMI family!

 

We know that as the world becomes more projectized, there is a high demand for qualified project professionals. Project management is an excellent choice of a profession for the hundreds of thousands of military personnel who transition each year, and their spouses, to consider as a life-long career.  Many transitioning military service members are often underemployed and undervalued, leading to unsatisfying post-military careers.  Many military personnel already possess the power skills and experience needed to become successful project managers, such as collaboration, communication, innovation and empathy.

 

With 1.3 million active US military and 18 million US Veterans, PMI has a dedicated program with resources military personnel need to successfully transition to civilian life. You can learn more about the program on our website at https://www.pmi.org/military.
