Career discovery for transitioning service members. Military-skill translation, VA-aligned procurement, SkillBridge-ready.

Five common deployments. (1) VA Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (VR&E) for service-disabled veterans transitioning to civilian work. (2) DoD SkillBridge programs running during the last 60-180 days of active service. (3) VA Vet Tec (Veteran Employment Through Technology Education Courses) for tech-pathway training. (4) Wounded Warrior Project career-readiness programs. (5) State and county Veterans Service Organizations running employment-readiness for older veterans cohorts. JobCannon serves each because the platform produces a concrete Career Guide with skill-gap analysis rather than a generic interests report.

Most service members do not know how to translate their MOS (Army), AFSC (Air Force), NEC (Navy), or rate (Coast Guard) into civilian-equivalent skills. JobCannon's Skills Audit recognizes military occupational specialties and runs the translation via the O*NET military crosswalk. A veteran with MOS 88M (Motor Transport Operator) sees civilian-equivalent skills (commercial driving, logistics coordination, vehicle maintenance, route planning) mapped to specific careers (commercial truck driver, logistics coordinator, fleet manager, transit dispatcher). The translation feeds the Career Guide with civilian-language skill descriptions service members can put on a resume.

Yes. We provide a signed Data Processing Agreement, a Vendor Information Form, a SOC 2-aligned security questionnaire response, and a federal-vendor checklist (FedRAMP-aligned where applicable for the use case). VA programs have run JobCannon through procurement review in 4-8 weeks; SkillBridge and Vet Tec procurement is typically faster because the use case fits well-defined templates. Quote letter formatted for VA discretionary funds, GI Bill-adjacent funding, or state veterans-employment grants provided on request.

SkillBridge cohorts run during the last 60-180 days of active service while the service member is still on the DoD payroll. JobCannon assessments fit naturally into the first 1-2 weeks of a SkillBridge cohort as career-discovery before specific training begins. The Career Guide output gives the service member a concrete civilian pathway recommendation; the host employer can route the SkillBridge participant toward training aligned with the recommended pathway. Standard SkillBridge cohort deployment runs the full battery in week 1, debrief in week 2, training assignment in week 3.

JobCannon assessments are WCAG 2.1 AA-aligned. The platform runs in standard browsers with screen-reader support; for veterans using JAWS, NVDA, or VoiceOver, the assessment flow has been tested and the Career Guide output is screen-reader navigable. Veterans with PTSD or TBI affecting test-taking endurance can pause and resume mid-assessment without losing progress. VA VR&E programs running the platform for service-disabled veterans report no significant accessibility-driven dropout.

VA programs already use O*NET-derived tools (My Next Move for Veterans, the VA Veterans Employment Toolkit) which provide RIASEC interest assessment and military-skill translation lookups. Those tools are free and well-suited for self-service exploration. JobCannon adds three layers VA tools do not provide: (1) coordinator dashboards for VR&E counsellors and SkillBridge coordinators, (2) cohort tracking and aggregate reporting for VA program performance, and (3) the broader assessment battery (Big Five, EQ, IQ) that supports trait-stability conversations beyond the RIASEC layer. Programs typically keep VA tools as referral resources and add JobCannon for the institutional layer.
