Overview of TAP:
TAP is a congressionally mandated program aimed at helping military personnel prepare for civilian careers after their service ends. The program provides guidance on topics like job searching, resume writing, networking, financial planning, and more, making the transition smoother and more successful. TAP is structured to meet the needs of various service members, and it is divided into separate days focused on different agencies.
TAP Workshop Structure:
- Day 1: Department of Defense (DoD) Day
- Focus: Introduction to the transition process, covering topics such as understanding benefits, post-service options, and overall planning.
- This day is aimed at all service members preparing for transition.
