Find a person
in your corner.

Compare career coaching and mentoring. See who each service describes, what remains uncertain, and what to ask before you reach out.

Free to use here. No account needed. These optional choices stay in this tab and reset on reload. We do not collect names, contact details, résumés or military records here.

Four starting points, listed without a ranking or score. This is not an eligibility decision or a promise of a job, admission, response time or available appointment. Providers decide access.

If filters do not become available, all four services, conditions and contact steps remain readable below.

Explore your options

Choose any connections and kinds of support you want to explore. One supported choice within a group is enough; each answered group must fit. Leave a group blank if you’re unsure. Unknowns stay in view for a provider check. These choices do not test service era, transition dates or household eligibility.

Hire Heroes USA

Individual career advising for your job search.

Help offered

Individual advising, résumé and professional-profile help, interview preparation, networking and ongoing job-search guidance. This is not job placement.

Military and spouse paths

US military service from any era; active-duty and Guard/Reserve paths are included. Current and former military spouses, including Gold Star and Guard/Reserve spouses, are described. Children and non-serving military supporters are outside the stated program.

Conditions to check

The FAQ uses above-Dishonorable or expected-above-Dishonorable discharge wording for service members and veterans. Ask the provider how its evidence requirements apply to your path; a spouse is not assumed to have a discharge status. Do not send documents here.

Timing and commitment

Registering within 18 months of availability for work is a recommendation, not a cutoff. Confirm an advising schedule that works for you.

Cost and location

The service is free. Current geographic delivery limits are not established by this source; confirm your location with the provider.

Capacity

Weekly onboarding is limited. Live openings and your response time are unknown; a stated contact expectation is not a promise.

Your next step

Read what to expect, confirm your relationship and any evidence requirements, then use the provider’s registration steps if you choose.

DOL Employment Navigator and Partnership Program

Career planning and referrals through participating TAP locations.

Help described

The indexed program description includes career planning, credentials, interview and résumé preparation, and referrals to partners.

Compound access conditions

The indexed criteria describe transitioning service members and their spouses within two years of retirement or 365 days of separation, participating in TAP at an ENPP location. Both the transition window and actual participating TAP location matter. Broad military status alone does not establish access.

Location and delivery

Some participating installations receive virtual support. That does not establish worldwide or universal remote eligibility. A current location list has not been verified here.

Cost, commitment and capacity

Current cost, appointment availability, meeting commitment and a working appointment destination are unverified. Confirm these with your TAP office.

Evidence limit

The direct page could not be read. Official indexed wording is provisional; it cannot confirm current access or exclude you as ineligible.

Your next step

Check the DOL information page. Ask your TAP office whether your actual location participates and your retirement or separation window fits; ask how to request an Employment Navigator appointment.

Hiring Our Heroes Career Connectors

Advisor guidance and connections to employment resources.

Help offered

Advisors review information, connect people with resources and help prepare them for employment. Connector guidance is separate from acceptance into a training program or fellowship.

Military paths, cost and location

The intake alone does not establish all qualifying relationships, costs or delivery locations. Confirm your path and any cost directly; this tool does not infer universal admission from the form.

Commitment and capacity

The intake is a request for support. Advisor availability, response time and meeting commitment are not established here.

Before you open the intake

The external four-step form requests contact, military service, location, demographic, education, career and résumé information. Required consent permits provider and partner contact and sharing registration details with partners or an associated installation. Review those terms before deciding to submit there. Nothing is prefilled or sent from this tool.

Separate program restriction

Career Forward says new applications are closed in the directly read program update, despite retained promotion and Apply links. Career Connectors access does not admit you to Career Forward, training or any fellowship.

Your next step

Read the intake’s privacy and required partner-contact/sharing terms. If you choose to continue, ask an advisor which services fit your circumstances and confirm costs and availability.

American Corporate Partners mentoring

A yearlong mentoring relationship for career development.

Help and commitment described

Indexed wording describes free yearlong mentoring with roughly monthly conversations, generally remotely, for career exploration and development. This is not job placement. Confirm you can make the yearlong commitment and ask about current mentor availability.

  • ACP: veteran mentoring program · observed 2026-09-10 UTC · Direct page could not be read; official search-index text only, approximately three-week crawl age, provisional
Service-member / veteran path

Indexed criteria describe at least 180 days of active service since September 11, 2001, including qualifying Guard/Reserve service. A shorter-service injury exception needs provider review; no injury or service details are requested here.

Distinct spouse paths

Indexed paths include active-duty or surviving spouses; spouses of severely wounded post-9/11 veterans; and spouses whose veterans left active duty within twelve months. These are separate paths to confirm with ACP, not a blanket spouse rule. One household member’s service era cannot decide another qualifying relationship.

Your next step

Try the official program information page and its contact navigation. Ask ACP to confirm your applicable service or spouse path, the yearlong commitment and current enrollment before deciding whether to apply. This destination could not be verified as reachable.
