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.
