Thank You to Our Partners
I offer my strongest personal recommendation for any transitioning service member to attend SAME’s CTW. Preparing for it and taking part in it has launched me “leaps and bounds” ahead in my preparations for my next career. The opportunity to sit down with industry partners who are hungry for talented individuals such as Navy CEC Officers cannot be equaled through any other venue or event. The SAME CTW’s value CANNOT be over-stated!
