SUMMARY:The Network: Direct Employer Access (Norfolk)
DESCRIPTION:Stop applying online. Start shaking hands. Bypass the resume "black hole." Meet vetted hiring managers who know what your clearance is worth\n\n\nThe Algorithm Can’t Hire You. We Can.\nThe Problem: You spend hours tailoring your resume. You submit it to an online portal. You wait. You hear nothing. The “Black Hole” of online applications is the enemy of a fast transition. \nThe Solution: The Network is your bypass. We cut the red tape and put you in the room with the people who actually sign the offer letters. \nThis isn’t a “job fair” where you collect brochures. This is a tactical access point to the 757’s most aggressive military-hiring companies. We have vetted every employer in the room. They aren’t here to tell you to “apply on the website”—they are here to find their next team leader. \nWho Should Attend: \nTransitioning Service Members: Who are tired of the waiting game. \nMilitary Spouses: Looking for employers who understand the PCS lifestyle. \nVeterans: Ready to level up from their current civilian role. \nYour Rules of Engagement:\nBring Resumes if you have them BUT no biggie if you don’t. \nBe Social: No stress\, take your 30 seconds to tell them who you are. Make it count. Learn who they are and what they’re looking for. If it’s not you\, how you can help. \nThe job market is all about who you know. Come know the right people. \nIf you have any additional questions\, please do not hesitate to contact us: \nNorfolk Front Desk: 757-807-0423 \nEmail: militarycommunity@theworkforcecouncil.org \nThis event and the services provided herein at the Hampton Roads Veterans Employment Centers are funded through 25% or $199\,576 through the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act and 75% or $580\,391 through nonfederal sources.

SUMMARY:EXECUTIVE MILITARY TRANSITION SEMINAR (SOUTHSIDE)
DESCRIPTION:Senior Level Military Professionals need more than just basic transition courses. They need real-world HR & talent acquisition expertise.\n\n\nPlease register at the following link: https://engage.theworkforcecouncil.org/register/EMTSOCTOBER2026 \n \nConquer Your Toughest Deployment Yet: The Military-to-Civilian Transition\nThe transition to the civilian job market is unlike any mission you’ve faced before. It demands self-awareness\, strategic planning\, and a refined approach that sets you apart from both military and civilian competitors. While your military leadership experience is invaluable\, it’s not enough to automatically land you that executive position. You need a practical\, metrics-driven strategy to navigate this critical phase of your career. \nMost transition courses fall short. They focus heavily on resume writing and interviewing skills\, often taught by instructors with limited real-world experience in HR or talent acquisition. This leaves you unprepared for the complexities of the civilian job market\, especially at the executive level. \nThe Hampton Roads Veterans Employment Center’s Military Executive Transition Seminar is different. This exclusive\, one-day workshop\, limited to just 12 attendees per session\, provides military leaders with the practical\, relevant content they need to achieve civilian career success. \nHere’s how the seminar empowers you: \n\nCraft a Unique Value Proposition: Learn how to leverage AI and social media strategies to develop a compelling and differentiated personal brand.\nCommunicate Your Value Beyond the Resume: Discover effective techniques to showcase your skills and experience in a way that resonates with civilian employers.\nMaximize Your Online Presence: Master the art of social media networking for senior-level positions\, ensuring you reach the right decision-makers.\nGain Valuable Insights: Learn from a moderated panel of successfully transitioned peers who have navigated the transition into various industries\, including private\, public\, non-profit\, academic\, and entrepreneurial sectors.\n\nThis FREE seminar provides you with the knowledge and tools you need to: \n\nSmoothly transition into a fulfilling civilian career\nStand out from the competition and land that executive position\nBuild a robust professional network for ongoing support and success\n\nDon’t wait. Register for the Hampton Roads Veterans Employment Center’s Military Executive Transition Seminar today and take control of your future! \n \nPlease register at the following link: https://engage.theworkforcecouncil.org/register/EMTSOCTOBER2026

Just a consistent habit\, a room full of curious people\, and the accountability that comes from showing up. \nHow it works:\nWe meet every two weeks on Tuesdays from 6:00–7:30 PM at CNU. Sessions are a mix of focused study and group discussion. \nSession details:\n🕕 Study time: 6:05 PM – 7:05 PM\n🤝 Networking time: 7:05 PM – 7:30 PM\n📍 Location: Christopher Newport University (Luter 170)\n🔁 Frequency: Bi-weekly (Tuesdays)\n💬 Join Slack: Fill Google Form \nThings to bring: \n\nLaptop\nEarphones/headphones\n\nRoadmap (optional structure we’re following): \n\nAI Fluency + Claude 101 (start here)\nBuilding with the Claude API\nIntro to MCP + MCP Advanced\nClaude Code in Action + Coursera module\nPractice questions + scenario walkthroughs\nAnti-patterns review\n\nBased on: “The Claude Certified Architect is Here!” \nYou are welcome to study on anything else too.
