Donald was attracted to Nicole\u2019s ambitious attitude. Donald\u2019s charismatic charm caught Nicole&#8217;s eye. Their mutual love of dogs sealed their romantic fate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Army couple with their three fur babies likes to prepare and plan. That\u2019s why Donald and Nicole both utilized Hiring Our Heroes\u2019 Corporate Fellowship Program during their transitions from soldiers to civilians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nicole completed the 12-week program in 2018 with a nonprofit organization located near Fort Hood. Donald is currently participating in a CFP cohort and doing his fellowship as a project engineer with the commercial contractor Flintco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nicole said the Corporate Fellowship Program gives service members a preview of post-military life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Corporate Fellowship Program helps ease the transition, especially the cultural transition from military to civilian life, such as new routines, commutes, wardrobe, and social environments,\u201d Nicole said. \u201cIt also gives you a preview of a certain industry, which is really helpful if you\u2019re not exactly sure what career path you want next. There is plenty of opportunity to learn about yourself and figure out what you really want to do next in life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-we-are-able-to-retire-together-and-participate-in-the-corporate-fellowship-together\">We Are Able to Retire Together and Participate in the Corporate Fellowship Together<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Roughly 200,000 service members will transition from military service to civilian life annually. According to the Department of Defense, this results in approximately 1,300 new veterans and their families returning to civilian life every single day. The majority of these men and women were enlisted in the military and don\u2019t have a job offer when they are handed their DD-214s. Many times their spouses are also looking for employment because the couple decided to move to a new location after leaving the Armed Forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between 65% and 80% of veterans surveyed left the military without a job from 2014 to 2016, according to a 2017 research paper titled \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/watson.brown.edu\/costsofwar\/files\/cow\/imce\/papers\/2017\/Zogas_Veterans%27%20Transitions_CoW_2.1.17.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">U.S. Military Veterans\u2019 Difficult Transitions Back to Civilian Life and the VA\u2019s Response<\/a>\u201d written by Anna Zogas. Zogas wrote \u201cVeterans who are looking for work also report being continuously referred to online hiring initiatives that ultimately \u2018did not lead to substantial job prospects.\u2019 These dead-ends and frustrations lead veterans to name lack of employment as one of these greatest post-military concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, of post-9\/11 veterans surveyed in Los Angeles, 65% said that they needed substantial help finding a job. This is a higher number than those surveyed who reported needing physical health care (56%) and mental health care (47%), Zogas wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/DillianandZais-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-783\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/DillianandZais-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/DillianandZais-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/DillianandZais-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/DillianandZais.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Corporate Fellowship Program helps to ease the transition for military couples by providing veterans and military spouses with the opportunity to work in the civilian world before they leave the military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Service members are paired up with companies that match their skill sets and desired career path. They then work four days a week for that company and attend a weekly class with their fellowship cohort. Many service members are offered a job following their internship, either with the same company or with another participating company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Knoble-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Knoble-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Knoble-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Knoble.jpg 1046w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe HOH Corporate Fellowship Program is giving us a great foundation,\u201d said LaQuai Knoble, an airman who is participating in the program with her husband, who is also active duty. \u201cIt\u2019s allowing us to get our feet wet in the civilian world and making our transitions not as stressful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a combined 43 years of service, LaQuai Knoble and her husband Jared are planning to retire from the Air Force this year. They have been married for 15 years and are currently stationed at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. LaQuai said they\u2019ve been planning for their retirement for the past two years and decided to apply to the Corporate Fellowship Program together. Now, they are IT system analyst fellows at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are excited that we are able to retire together and use the corporate fellowship together,\u201d LaQuai said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Army veteran Reinaldo and his wife Milena Sanchez became co-workers at Prudential after Reinaldo completed the Corporate Fellowship Program at Fort Bliss, Texas. Reinaldo, a retired signal officer, was hired to be a senior associate application security engineer with Prudential in El Paso. During his time as a fellow, Milena connected with Prudential through one of the company\u2019s supportive programs for military spouses. Milena is now working as a senior data analysis associate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHiring Our Heroes has given us the opportunity to work together at Prudential,\u201d Reinaldo said. \u201cWorking together has allowed us to connect on a whole other level, in a professional way.

Joel completed his fellowship with Amazon Web Services before being hired as a senior technical program manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWatching Joel go through the Hiring Our Heroes experience reinforced for me how important it is to have a support network of other people experiencing the same thing,\u201d Jen said. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI&#8217;ve known for the last two years how much I desired a similar opportunity as the program enabled him to move on to the next chapter with great confidence and a multitude of resources.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jen is currently doing her fellowship as a technical program manager in Amazon\u2019s Reliability, Maintenance and Engineering Division.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI feel incredibly lucky and honored to have this chance for growth and support during a time of transition, and I learned more about how to optimize the HOH experience based on his participation,\u201d Jen said. \u201cDoing this (Corporate Fellowship Program) together gives us yet another shared experience that is really fulfilling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fellowship features a 12-week syllabus and runs three times a year at select military
