For soldiers transitioning into civilian life, charting the next phase of their careers can be a daunting challenge. A recently launched Maryland initiative, called Military Corps Career Connect (C3), is designed to make the path forward easier to navigate.

The program provides a set of career services that enable transitioning active duty service members, active duty spouses, and recently separated (non-retiree) veterans to move into a number of different professions.
