Mil2Fed BackgroundThe Mil2Fed tool has been developed for the state of Maryland’s Department of Labor, Licensing, and Regulation (DLLR). Although this tool has been developed for the state of Maryland it can be used by anyone in any state. Since private sector jobs are categorized differently than federal jobs, military service members may have a difficult time knowing which federal job series might be comparable to their military experience. This tool solves that problem.

Why is the tool important

• Existing crosswalks only show military jobs related to civilian private sector jobs.

• Military service members have a difficult time knowing which occupational jobs might be comparable to their military occupation.

• It can be difficult to narrow down search to jobs compatible with USAJOBs.

• O*Net Online is another crosswalk tool that allows search by military occupation or job title and cross-references military occupational skills (MOS) to civilian equivalents and vice versa.
