“…Steinerman, Volshteyn, and McGarrett (2011), in a 2009 survey of for‐profit schools, found that on average 11 percent of revenue was spent on advertising, and the average student costs around $4,000 to recruit, which can be quickly recaptured in tuition. Veterans are part of a more appealing recruitment pool to be systematically pursued because of their access to generous financial aid availability, and veterans are five times more likely to enroll at a for‐profit than non‐profit institution (Steele, Buryk, & McGovern, 2018).…”

“…Although the literature is beginning to discuss the diversity in military affiliated populations, including gender (Berg & Rousseau, 2018), the tendency to homogenize veterans and veteran experiences continues. Most transition literature focuses on transitions to undergraduate higher education (Steele, Buryk, & McGovern, 2018; Alschuler & Yarab, 2018), excluding SMOs who already have higher degrees. Officers are a separate group (Vance, 2015) and SMOs are a distinct group within those officers.…”

Retiring senior military officers (SMO) are a specific group of adult learners in role transition. SMOs have the shared experience of high‐level leadership roles, senior managerial experiences, and military rank. They experience some similar transition challenges as other military affiliated learners, such as military–civilian culture; however, in their military roles, these individuals are in powerful roles of command, often in high stress to include life and death combat situations. Therefore, the SMO adult learner transitioning into post‐retirement, second career work experiences has important context changes to explore. Those context changes include integrated ways of moving among levels of novice to expert in organizational structure, ethos, international experience, and managing and leading in crisis. Through reciprocal learning programs, hiring organizations and SMOs have an opportunity to make headway into bridging the military–civilian divide.

“…Once enrolled in college, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and institutions of higher education actively monitor the demographics, experiences, and outcomes of student veterans and student veteran alumni (GAO, 2015). Academia has also studied the experiences and returns to higher education under the various GI Bills (Angrist, 1993;Kleykamp, 2013;Steele, Buryk, & McGovern, 2018;Olsen et al, 2018).…”

The Relationship Between Training Program Participation and Gainful Civilian Employment of Gulf War-Era II Veterans

The GI Bill of Rights has helped millions of veterans with their transition into civilian employment through education and training programs. In addition to higher education benefits, the GI Bill provides educational assistance for vocational training, entrepreneurship courses, apprenticeships, on-the-job training, and remedial courses. Compared to previous studies, this study is unique in three aspects. First, this study focuses on skill development through training programs completed by veterans rather than higher education or educational attainment. Second, the training categories are constructed based on job-specific versus general properties of human capital theory. Finally, the study captures all training programs completed by veterans regardless of provider or sponsoring organization by using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97). Generalized linear mixed models are used to determine the relationship between the type of training program and gainful employment. Pre-employment training programs were found to be positively related to the gainful employment of Gulf War-Era II veterans.
