In this very important episode of The Midnight Academy, Dr. Heather Lynn speaks with Matt Louis, a distinguished West Point graduate and military veteran, to tackle the pressing issue of the civil-military divide. Matt opens up about his transformative journey from the corporate sphere to dedicating his life to bridging the gap between military service and civilian employment.
As the author of the critically acclaimed book Mission Transition, and the newly released Hiring Veterans, Matt brings a wealth of knowledge and firsthand experience to the table. He discusses the pivotal role of aligning military members with fulfilling civilian careers, not just for job satisfaction and financial stability, but as a crucial step in suicide prevention.
In his new capacity as the president of Purepost, Matt is at the forefront of matching military talent with civilian opportunities, thereby facilitating smoother transitions. The conversation takes a deep dive into the hurdles veterans encounter when re-entering civilian life, and the misconceptions employers often have about the unparalleled skills and work ethic that veterans bring to the workforce.
Matt underscores the tangible benefits employers can reap from hiring veterans, including higher retention rates and increased productivity. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of military-to-civilian transition and the untapped potential that veterans offer to the civilian job market.
