UMUC Webinar: Tips to Help Veterans Find Employment

In honor of Veterans Day, University of Maryland University College (UMUC)— which was founded in 1947 in part because of the need to educate returning soldiers from World War II—will host a webinar, From Military to Civilian: Tips to Help Veterans Find Employment, in support and appreciation of our nation’s veterans.  The webinar will be presented by certified federal career counselor Gail Sutton.


Topics include:



  • How to translate your military skills to civilian work skills

  • Calculating your military pay vs. civilian pay

  • Veterans' preference with the federal government, and much more.
