You might be great at your job, but how would you translate your skills to another profession? The mission to do that might feel overwhelming. Our military veterans face the same problem when they leave the service and try to find jobs in the civilian world. They have so much experience – specialized experience – but struggle to find jobs because they don’t know how their skills match employers’ needs.

Our next guest on our Give Us the Dirt Podcast understands that problem and created a solution. Robyn Grable’s service called Veterans ASCEND, is that translator that veterans need to match their real skills to real jobs. And this year, they’ve partnered with the Carolinas AGC to connect veterans to construction careers, where their skills are badly needed! We’re really excited to hear from Robyn about how this works.
