Veterans are uniquely suited to address ongoing talent shortages in the private sector due to the wealth of skills developed through their service, from technical skills to leadership experience – yet, they are often overlooked for high-paying, high-performance roles, Hire Heroes USA CEO Ross Dickman told FOX Business.
Dickman, who spent more than a decade in the U.S. Army, knows how transferable a veteran's skills are in the private sector. The problem is that those skills can be difficult to convey clearly on paper due to the complexities of the job and the significant cultural and industry shifts, according to Dickman. To exacerbate the issue, there is also a misunderstanding about the roles and leadership positions where veterans truly excel.
