With over one million United States Military Service members expecting to leave the Service over the next four years, the majority of them will seek civilian employment. The challenge for these men and women who have devoted years to serving our country will be to find jobs in the civilian workforce. Trends in recent years show that unemployment among veterans is high. The Department of Defense currently spends over $1 billion a year on unemployment compensation for ex-service members (UCX). While civilian employers indicate a strong desire to hire transitioning service members and veterans, they report difficulty in translating military training and experience to the skills required in the civilian workplace. Facilitating the ability of military service members and veterans to attain civilian occupational credential can alleviate this problem because civilian credentials can demonstrate to employers the comparability of military training and experience.

The National Defense Authorization Act of 2017 has been amended with regard to the types of credentials that can be paid for by the Services.  The amendment specifies broader criteria that the military can use to determine which credentials to pay for. 

Come hear the ways the credentialing industry can take advantage of these government initiatives and help our veterans transition into the civilian world as well as additional WorkCred initiatives that may affect our industry.

Under Ms. Lutz's direction, SOLID has provided research and analysis support for the Veterans Employment Initiative Task Force, several White House, and Congressionally directed credentialing pilot programs, and for some of the most comprehensive online resources for translating military training and experience. This includes the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps Credentialing Opportunities On-Line (COOL) web sites, as well as Mil2Fed Jobs - an online tool for matching military jobs to federal occupations. Ms. Lutz has worked extensively with the Services' voluntary education programs and in 2012 led an assessment of these programs.

She also serves on the American National Standard's Institute's Professional Certification Accreditation Committee (PCAC). 

Ms. Lutz holds a B.S. in Political Science and Psychology and a Master's degree in Public Administration (M.P.A.).
