Stop Guessing Your Way Through Your Military Transition.
A pre-separation system for operating in the private sector — before you leave the military.
The Real Military Transition Problem Isn’t Your Skills — It’s the Environment
You’ve spent your entire career inside a mission-driven, military system.
The private sector runs on a profit-driven one — and no one explains that shift clearly…until now.
Two Systems. Two Rule Sets. One You.
In the military environment, success comes from aligning to mission, structure, and clear, uniform expectations. The system is mandated to exist and funded regardless of market conditions.
In the private-sector environment, success comes from creating value inside a profit-driven system. Your role must tie to revenue, you’re expected to build deep specialty, and organizations move based on competition and business realities — not rank.
When you carry military expectations into a profit-driven system, things naturally feel off — not because anything’s wrong with you, but because no one ever taught you how this new environment actually works.
How the CORE Framework Retrains You for the Private-Sector Environment
Once you see that transition is an environment problem, the question becomes: how do you re-train yourself for a profit-driven system? The Employment Prep Course walks you through a clear three-step process.
Step 1: Understand your current optimization
You’ve spent your entire career optimized for a mission-driven system: clear hierarchy, uniform expectations, and guaranteed funding. In EPC, you surface those “military settings” so you stop blaming yourself and start seeing the real pattern.
Step 2: Align to the private-sector environment
You learn how success actually works in a profit-driven system: how roles tie to revenue, why you’re expected to build deep specialty, and how organizations behave based on markets—not rank. You finally see where you fit and what employers really need from you.
Step 3: Execute with clarity and confidence
Using the CORE tools and frameworks, you build a concrete plan, test your assumptions, and make moves that fit the new environment. No more guessing—just deliberate action aligned to the way the private sector actually works.
What You’ll Learn Inside The EPC
You learn how to read the private-sector environment, understand how businesses actually work, and see where your military experience aligns and provides value.
Through the CORE Framework, you’ll learn to:
● Understand the expectations of a profit-driven system
● See where your skills translate — and where they don’t
● Build a direction that fits your goals and strengths
● Make decisions with clarity instead of guessing
By the end of EPC, you have the context, confidence, and alignment to move into the private sector deliberately — not reactively.
How the PreVeteran System Works
The EPC is the first step in re‑training for a profit‑driven environment.
You’ve spent years optimized for a mission‑driven military system. The private sector runs on completely different rules — and most programs don’t address this reality.
The PreVeteran System reorients you through a clear, deliberate sequence.
By the time you reach your separation date, you’re no longer guessing — you’re informed, aligned, and confident.
STEP 1 — The 5‑Week Employment Prep Course (EPC)
The EPC is your starting point for retraining into a profit‑driven system. In just 5 weeks, you’ll learn to interpret the private‑sector environment, see how businesses actually function, and understand where your military experience aligns and creates value.
Here’s how it works:
5 weeks, virtual, 1–3 hours per week Built to fit active‑duty schedules, TDYs, field time, and deployments.
Self‑paced lessons + weekly support Learn the CORE Framework and immediately apply it to your situation.
Designed to shift your thinking You stop guessing and start making deliberate, informed decisions aligned to the private‑sector environment.
By the end of EPC You’ll have the context, tools, and alignment needed to navigate transition intelligently — not reactively.
STEP 2 – THE PREVETERAN DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY
The Development Community is where your long-term alignment is built.
After EPC, you keep applying the CORE Framework with ongoing coaching, structure, and peer support — sharpening your direction and building real momentum.
Here’s how it works:
Monthly support + small-group coaching Guidance to refine decisions, test assumptions, and stay aligned to the private-sector environment.
Specialized follow-on training Deep-dive tools that go beyond résumés or job search — industry awareness, business understanding, and decision-making frameworks.
A network that grows with you You connect with others who think like you, operate like you, and are navigating the same environment shift.
By separation, you’ll have the clarity, confidence, and alignment needed to move deliberately — not reactively.
STEP 3 — GET STARTED WITH PURPOSE
You’ve seen how the PreVeteran System works. Now the only step left is taking action.
Enroll in the EPC, learn the CORE Framework, and begin preparing for the private sector the right way — with clarity, alignment, and structure.
PreVeteran’s approach to modern workforce development was recently recognized through participation in an NSF-funded initiative. See how organizations deploy our Pre-Separation Training in the Partner Playbook below.
Pre-Separation Partner Playbook: How Organizations Deploy a Pre-Separation Training System
An overview for organizations supporting service members before transition. Learn how partners deploy Pre-Separation Training as a system-level foundation that integrates with existing programs, reduces downstream friction, and improves outcomes across employment, education, and workforce pathways.
Whether you’re supporting a specific military community, strengthening your state’s workforce, or preparing Guard/Reserve members for long-term success, the EPC gives you a modern, private-sector–aligned training solution that plugs directly into your mission.
FAQS
What makes this training different from TAP?
TAP gives you information. EPC gives you a system.
TAP must cover everything under the sun in a short time — it’s not built to retrain you for a profit-driven private sector.
EPC is different in two key ways:
1). It’s not an informational briefing. It’s a skills-based training built on the CORE Framework. You learn tools and models you’ll use for the rest of your career. 2). It’s not one-and-done. You join a deliberate sequence through EPC and the Alumni Community, so you keep building capability instead of trying to “figure it out” alone.
How does the EPC actually work — is it self-paced or live?
Most students spend 1–3 hours per week.
The course is virtual and structured so you can make progress in small, consistent blocks — even during TDYs, field time, or rotating shifts.
Why do you charge money when other programs are free?
Free programs tend to be short, generic, and focused on “checking a box.”
We invest deeply in your training, coaching, tools, and long-term development — and we stay with you beyond the initial course.
You’re not paying for a class. You’re investing in a system that gives you clarity, alignment, and confidence entering the private sector.
If free programs will get you where you want to go, use them.
If you want higher certainty and a performance-driven approach, consider us.
What is the weekly time commitment for the 5‑week course?
Most students spend 1–3 hours per week.
The course is virtual and structured so you can make progress in small, consistent blocks — even during TDYs, field time, or rotating shifts.
What if my schedule is unpredictable (deployments, TDYs, shift work)?
EPC is built with real military life in mind.
Lessons are recorded, support is flexible, and you plug in when you’re available — not punished when you’re not.
If your schedule gets chaotic, you catch up asynchronously and jump back into support when you can.
When should I take EPC in my transition timeline?
Ideally 18–36 months before separation — the transition-preparation window where you can make the biggest shifts with the least pressure.
But if you’re closer to separation, you’ll still benefit.
The earlier you start, the more time you have to apply what you learn.
What happens after the 5‑week course?
EPC is just the beginning.
After the course, you join the PreVeteran Development Community, where you get:
• Follow-on training
• Deeper tools
• Ongoing coaching
• A network of like-minded peers
• Guidance to keep applying the CORE Framework
By separation, you’ll be aligned, informed, and ready to move deliberately — not reactively.
Who is this for — is it only for certain ranks or career fields?
EPC is built for high‑intent service members across ranks and MOS/AFSCs who want a clearer, more certain path into the private sector.
We work with officers, NCOs, and enlisted members from a wide range of career fields.
If you’re serious about understanding the new environment and preparing deliberately, you belong here.
