Military Veterans Transitioning to Higher Education and the Civilian Workforce: Challenges, Opportunities, Supports, and Resources
This comprehensive book delves into the intricate journey of military veterans transitioning to higher education and the civilian workforce. Edited by experts from various educational institutions, the volume offers insights into the unique challenges faced by veterans, including relearning how to learn, adapting to civilian learning environments, and managing the shift to the workforce. With a focus on practical applications and grounded in research, the book aims to provide navigational tools for veterans and professionals supporting their transition. The chapters are organized into four sections: Teaching, Learning, and Support Services for Veterans in Higher Education; Veterans in Higher Education; Veterans in the Civilian Workforce; and Promoting a Veteran-Friendly Workforce. The editors invite chapter proposals that contribute to these sections, emphasizing strategies, resources, and success stories to empower veterans on their transition journey. Authors are encouraged to submit proposals that shed light on veterans’ experiences, providing valuable insights for a more inclusive educational and workforce environment. The anticipated publication is in Spring 2025. Chapter proposals are due by December 15, 2023, and can be submitted to Editor.MVT.AHEA@gmail.com.
