The Transition Assistance Program (TAP) workshop is designed to help you make
good decisions as you move from your military service to civilian life. The program was
developed to help you transfer your military experience to a civilian job or career.
TAP is a three day workshop organized into six distinct parts. The first five
parts will help you with all aspects of your job search. The sixth part provides important
information about your benefits as a veteran, and other resources available to you. The
six parts are:
Personal Appraisal-You analyze your skills and experience (work and
education), your likes and dislikes about work, and your work values and assess how these
should affect your job search.
Career Decisions-You identify your needs and goals and compare them with
information about jobs in various industries and locations.
Applying for the job-The skills necessary for
conducting a successful job search are explained. You write your resume
and a sample cover letter and begin taking steps to develop your network
of contacts.
The Interview-The interview process is explained
along with the skills you need to survive and shine in a job interview.
Job Offers-You learn ways to evaluate and
respond to job offers.
Support and Assistance-Your veterans' benefits
are described, and sources of help are listed with suggestions on how to
use them.
