Washington, D.C - 24 March 2024 –  In a significant step forward to enhance the career and education landscape for veterans, Student Veterans of America (SVA) and Vantage Point Consulting Inc developed a ground breaking solution designed to facilitate the transition of service members to fulfilling civilian careers and educational achievements.

SVA is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting student veterans with more than 1,600 Chapters across the United States to also include locations overseas. Vantage Point Consulting as a trusted advisor in career and education pathways, has been dedicated to supporting service members and veterans through tailored solutions to assist thousands of individuals in making informed decisions and achieving success in their post-military lives for nearly two decades. With SVA’s diverse population of student veterans, military-affiliated students, spouses, dependents,caregivers and survivors, this strategic collaboration sets a new benchmark in support services for veterans and their family members.  

Cristine Carpenter, a US Navy veteran and founder of Vantage Point Consulting, Inc., expressed her enthusiasm, stating, "We are honored to partner with Student Veterans of America in our shared mission of supporting service members and veterans. Together we share a commitment to make life-changing career opportunities more visible and accessible to veterans and military connected members."

As part of this collaboration, Vantage Point Consulting worked with SVA to understand their needs and offer a solution with advanced personalized and localizable recommendation engines to aid transitioning service members and veterans to make informed academic and career decisions.  SVA’s National Academic Advising Center, through the expert guidance of the SVA Success Coaching team, offers a gateway to a degree program and pathway that resonates with veterans’ career ambitions, leveraging their skills, experience and talents to achieve their goals.  Additionally, Vantage Point Consulting supported the development of integration of a robust job opportunities search feature tailor made to align with the aspirations of student veterans.

In conjunction with the SVA Career Center, Vantage Point Consulting created a modernized job board with a concentration on curated opportunities. This powerful tool equips student veterans and military connected members with the ability to explore employment prospects, internships and job postings that align with their career goals. By connecting them with relevant opportunities, this feature further enhances their career readiness and opens doors to success.  The SVA job board is designed for military service members, veterans and military connected members to connect with employers who value military service and embark on a journey to achieve career aspirations through the camaraderie of an excited and supportive community. This could lead to discussions of internships, part-time work that might offer security clearance billets, fellowships, and ultimately full-time opportunities.

This partnership between Vantage Point Consulting and Student Veterans of America represents a significant milestone in supporting the career and education aspirations of service members and veterans. By combining Vantage Point's proven expertise and innovative solutions with SVA's impactful mission, together both organizations are committed to providing exceptional resources, guidance,and opportunities to make a lasting difference in the lives of those who have served our country.
