Veteran Influencer Podcast

Today I spoke with Lieutenant Colonel Robin Johnson, Employment Director with the Army's Soldier for Life (SFL) program. Recently completed with Battalion command, Robin has joined the SFL team with the goals of raising awareness of the program and developing a culture of life-long engagement beyond merely the transition assistance program. In this episode we discuss her career and approach to the program, what the Army is doing to bridge the gap with employers and create a more opportunities for soldiers transitioning to civilian life, and the larger impact on force readiness and career development that a strong transition program lends to the operational military. This is an important conversation because we discuss most of the key resources soldiers should be looking into when planning their transition. There's a lot we didn't touch on, but I'm glad our conversation created something of an action plan for those who are listening and beginning the process of planning a civilian career.   Robin's Email Robin
