Veterans to workplace: Keys to successful transition.

The purpose of the current research effort was two-fold: (a) determine what behaviors successful veteran job candidates perform during the job application process that distinguish them from less successful ones, and (b) identify the behaviors of successfully employed veterans that distinguish them from those that are less successful or unable to maintain civilian employment. To address these issues, a research initiative was undertaken by the City of Clarksville, TN; Montgomery County, TN; the Tennessee Department of Labor; and the Tennessee Department of Veterans Services. Researchers conducted a qualitative study in the environs of Nashville, TN and Clarksville, TN, where Fort Campbell a United States Army installation, is located.
