Nextop Inc

NEXTOP WORKS ONE-ON-ONE WITH VETERANS TO HELP THEM UNDERSTAND HOW THEIR MILITARY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCES TRANSLATE INTO VALUED QUALIFICATIONS IN THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY, CONNECTING VETERANS TO JOB OPENINGS THAT MATCH THEIR SKILL-SETS AND MENTORING THEM BEYOND THE JOB HIRE.

SEE SCHEDULE OVETERANS: NEXTOP EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMMING IS DEDICATED TO FACILITATING VETERANS' SUCCESSFUL TRANSITION FROM THEIR MILITARY SERVICE TO CIVILIAN CAREERS AS SEAMLESSLY AS POSSIBLE. THE NEXTOP EMPLOYMENT TEAM WORKS 1:1 WITH SERVICE MEMBERS ON CAREER AND INDUSTRY IDENTIFICATION, SKILL TRANSLATION, UPSKILL OR RESKILL OPPORTUNITIES, RESUME DEVELOPMENT AND REFINEMENT, AND INTERVIEW SKILLS TO HELP EACH CANDIDATE SECURE INTERVIEWS AND ULTIMATELY A CAREER IN THE INDUSTRY/COMPANY/SPECIFIC ROLE THAT THEY ARE SEEKING. OUR CANDIDATES COMPRISE THE MOST DIVERSE POPULATION WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE - THE MIDDLE ENLISTED RANKS - AND ARE UNIQUELY POSITIONED TO BRING THEIR SOFT SKILLS AND WORLD EXPERIENCES TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR, BUT OFTEN LACK THE NETWORK, UNDERSTANDING OF THE INDUSTRY AND CAREER OPTIONS, AND SPECIFIC CERTIFICATIONS TO ACCESS INTERVIEWS AND HIRING REPRESENTATIVES WITHOUT OUR HELP. NEXTOP BRIDGES THE GAP TO COMPANIES INTERESTED IN VETERAN TALENT BUT DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO ACCESS AND CONNECT WITH THE POPULATION DIRECTLY, ESPECIALLY BEFORE OR AS THEY ARE DEPARTING THE ACTIVE-DUTY COMPONENT.EVENTS: NEXTOP PLANS AND HOSTS VARIOUS SEMINARS, WORKSHOPS, AND OTHER PROGRAMMING EVENTS RELATED TO VETERAN WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, EMPLOYMENT, NETWORKING, AND CORPORATE PARTNER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT PROGRAMMING, TYPICALLY THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. IN 2021 NEARLY ALL OF OUR PROGRAMMING WAS VIRTUAL DUE TO THE PANDEMIC BUT STILL TARGETED OUTREACH AT BASES ACROSS THE COUNTRY WITH SERVICE MEMBERS PREPARING TO TRANSITION TO THE CIVILIAN WORLD. MENTORSHIP: MILITARY CANDIDATES CAN EASILY REGISTER VIA OUR WEBSITE AND ARE ASSESSED BY OUR STAFF DURING A THOROUGH INTAKE. THEY ARE ASSIGNED TO ONE OF OUR EMPLOYMENT COORDINATORS WHO COACH AND MENTOR THEM THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE EMPLOYMENT PREPARATION AND PLACEMENT PROCESS - AND BEYOND. ADDITIONALLY, NEXTOP WORKS CLOSELY TO CONNECT OUR CANDIDATES AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS WITH OTHER MENTORSHIP PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES TO ENSURE A SUCCESSFUL TRANSITION TO THE CIVILIAN COMMUNITY AND WORKFORCE FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES. CORPORATE PARTNERS: NEXTOP'S CORPORATE PARTNERS ARE AMONG THE MOST WELL-RESPECTED COMPANIES IN INDUSTRIES WHO TRULY VALUE MILITARY SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE. NEXTOP WORKS WITH OUR CORPORATE PARTNERS TO DEVELOP A MILITARY-FRIENDLY WORK CULTURE CENTERED ON ESTABLISHING A VETERAN AFFINITY GROUP AND STREAMLINING MILITARY RECRUITING PROCESSES. NEXTOP MEETS COMPANIES WHERE THEY ARE AT TO SUPPORT THEIR VETERAN EMPLOYMENT GOALS, WHETHER CONSULTING ON ESTABLISHING VETERAN HIRING INITIATIVES, EVALUATING PAST PROGRESS AND ESTABLISHING NEXT STEPS, SPEAKING TO KEY STAKEHOLDER GROUPS WITHIN COMPANIES TO HIGHLIGHT THE VETERAN EMPLOYEE VALUE PROPOSITION, AND DISPEL ANY MYTHS, ETC. DESPITE A WORKFORCE IMPACTED BY COVID, PARTICULARLY IN EARLY 2021, AND BEING LIMITED TO PREDOMINANTLY VIRTUAL PROGRAMMING FOR MILITARY BASES, THE NEXTOP TEAM HELPED SUCCESSFULLY PLACE 359 VETERANS WITH 341 DIFFERENT CORPORATE PARTNERS, AT AN AVERAGE STARTING SALARY OF $57,403 IN 2021, AN AVERAGE SALARY INCREASE OF $1,300 OVER 2020.
