See what Col Brad "BAMF" Jensen had to say after attending a TAP workshop:
"Thanks so much for the opportunity to give you some feedback on the Minnesota TAP workshop. Personally, after nearly 26 years in military service, I would have to say this workshop is one of the top 5 training courses I have attended in my entire career. Both my wife and I found the level of expertise in instruction and the course materials phenomenal. The myth busting and expert advice on how to hunt, apply and land that first civilian job has left us both with a high degree of confidence as we step into the civilian job market. We are truly amazed in the support network the State of Minnesota has established to provide its homeward bound veterans tools to compete in the local job market. Thanks Again"

Career decisions relating to education and employment are issues faced by many returning veterans. The Transition Assistance Program (TAP)/Army Career and Alumni Program (ACAP) Workshop, provided by the Veterans Employment Service, can help you make the right choices. The TAP/ACAP Workshop will help you assess your present life situation, set goals, and make career choices. You will develop job research and job seeking skills, and create a plan to achieve the results you want. As a TAP/ACAP participant, you will learn how to find hidden job opportunities, write effective resumes and cover letters, highlight your job skills in an interview, and negotiate a fair wage. We encourage you to bring your spouse if possible.
Although there is NO COST for you to attend this workshop, you will have to pay your own travel and lodging costs.
