VPAC proudly serves recently separated or
soon-to-be separated veterans; actively serving
National Guard and Reserve Service Members;
and their respective spouses as a trusted resource
for transition assistance.
Our mission is to ensure these veterans are given
the skills, knowledge and experience to
successfully transition to the civilian business
sector.
We are focused on achieving this through
professional development and mentoring.
We also aim to maximize veteran employment
opportunities and protect their employment rights.
We understand how challenging the transition can
be and strive to better prepare our students for
the journey ahead.

Course Overview
VPAC was created by veterans, for veterans,
and is completely free of charge. the course
is comprised of a classroom session and
a mentor session. the classroom session
consists of intensive instructor-led training
by Cardinal Health’s own military veterans.
the training includes resume writing, military
skills translation, cover letter writing,
interview preparation and insight into other
key transition areas. these areas were
selected
based on
our personal
military,
transition
and business
experiences. the
mentor session consists
of a one-on-one or group activity. it is
designed to give veterans an opportunity
to receive further advice, guidance and
support from veterans who have already been
successful in the transition process.
