Google Made New Search Tools To Help Veterans Find Better Jobs (cnbc.com)

Google has rolled out a series of search tools to help military veterans find better jobs after returning to civilian life, the company said in a blog post. From a report: Former members of the military can now search "jobs for veterans," enter the military branch they served in and see results for job openings that match their skills. Google will also allow businesses to identify as "veteran-owned" or "veteran-led" in Google Maps and mobile search results. "We hope to use our technology to help veterans understand the full range of opportunities open to them across many different fields. Right now those opportunities are getting lost in translation," Matthew Hudson, a program manager for Google Cloud and an Air Force veteran, said in Monday's blog post.

    Actually, the USAF has the Community College of The Air Force, where that training does count (we just called it "Tech School"), depending on your AFSC ("MOS" in Army-speak) and what degree you were shooting for. OJT and CBTs (as well as PME/NCO training) also count as credits (again, depending on AFSC and degree). On top of all that, CLEP testing is (well, was) mega-cheap there.

    Learn you're from your. Also it IS the military's concern because how veterans are treated affects recruitment and readiness directly. They can also be called back up in time of need.
