What is Warrior Week?

Warrior Week is a free, tailored transition program for active-duty service members preparing for separation/retirement and recently transitioned veterans, designed to launch you into a meaningful civilian career. Warrior Week helps you translate your military experience into a purpose-driven work life that fits who you are and where you want to go.

Program Focus:

  • Career & Purpose: Pursue work that matters. Meaningful employment isn’t just about a paycheck – it’s about aligning your CliftonStrengths® with a path that brings fulfillment and forward momentum.
  • Social Wellbeing: Surround yourself with connection. Strong, authentic relationships – at work and in life – are essential to long-term success and resilience.
  • Physical Wellbeing: Fuel your body for what’s next. Consistent movement, nutrition, sleep, and stress management are vital to staying sharp and energized – whether you’re on the job or off the clock.
  • Financial Wellbeing: Gain control and clarity. Smart money habits – budgeting, saving, and planning – build confidence and reduce stress.
  • Community Wellbeing: Stay rooted and involved. Feeling connected to something larger than yourself adds depth to your work and life.
  • Emotional Wellbeing: Managing your emotions in a healthy way and having a positive outlook on life. This includes self-awareness, mindfulness, and developing coping strategies for stress and challenges.

WHO IS THE IDEAL CANDIDATE?

Active-duty within two (2) years of separation or veteran within five (5) years of separation*
Looking for a job, looking to advance in their current organization, or looking to find meaningful community support/volunteer roles.
Ready to take ownership of their next chapter and build a purposeful, fulfilling life beyond the uniform.
Seeking practical tools, clear direction, and personalized support to thrive in the civilian workspace.
Highly motivated and ready to take intentional, actionable steps toward a future marked by clarity, confidence, and impact.

By week’s end, each participant leaves with renewed clarity, redefined values, and personalized goals to guide their next steps in a meaningful path forward professionally and personally.

* This is a guideline. We understand life is often in transition, so if you fall outside this range but everything else aligns, we still encourage you to apply.
