The in-person 2024 SAME Career Transition Workshop will be held February 14-16, 2024, in Linthicum Heights, Md., in partnership with NextOp. This is an incredible opportunity for transitioning professionals to meet face-to-face with companies looking to hire skilled employees. If you are looking for a new direction, or simply weighing your options, the Career Transition Workshop is where you’ll find the full experience: from resume and LinkedIn reviews to robust educational sessions and recruiter interviews from a wide variety of companies.
“I found this the most beneficial workshop for improving my networking, interviewing, and professional development skills.”
Tim Sobieski, USAF (2023 Job Seeker)
To prepare for the on-site event, SAME is also hosting an extensive virtual program beginning January 16. Complete with educational webinars and discussions, the virtual program will set you up for success for your next career move.
The Career Transition Workshop is FREE for SAME members or NextOp applicants who are transitioning military or currently unemployed. In addition, SAME is currently accepting applications for stipends from current military members to attend the in-person portion of the event. This stipend will cover airfare and hotel for up to ten uniformed professionals to participate for free.
Applicants for the stipend must be current SAME military members (junior officer or enlisted) with plans to transition from the military. Non-members must become SAME members in order to receive the stipend.
E-mail completed applications to registration@same.org by December 15, 2023 to be considered. Members selected for stipends will be notified by the end of January in order to make travel arrangements. Stipend applicants must also participate in the virtual program beginning January 16, 2024.
