VPAC proudly serves recently separated or

National Guard and Reserve Service Members;

and their respective spouses as a trusted resource

Our mission is to ensure these veterans are given

the skills, knowledge and experience to

successfully transition to the civilian business

sector.

We are focused on achieving this through

professional development and mentoring.

We also aim to maximize veteran employment

opportunities and protect their employment rights.

We understand how challenging the transition can

be and strive to better prepare our students for

the journey ahead.

Course Overview

VPAC was created by veterans, for veterans,

and is completely free of charge. the course

is comprised of a classroom session and

a mentor session. the classroom session

consists of intensive instructor-led training

by Cardinal Health’s own military veterans.

the training includes resume writing, military

skills translation, cover letter writing,

interview preparation and insight into other

key transition areas. these areas were

selected

based on

our personal

military,

transition

and business

experiences. the

mentor session consists

of a one-on-one or group activity. it is

designed to give veterans an opportunity

to receive further advice, guidance and

support from veterans who have already been

successful in the transition process.
