” Nevertheless,” she continued, “we require to remain very carefully optimistic about the future recruiting operations as we continue to hire in a market that has low youth tendency to serve, restricted familiarity with military opportunities, a competitive labor market and a decreasing eligibility amongst young people.”

The reasons behind that are multifold, Helland said. Young Americans have less ties to pals or relative who have actually served in the military. There is a declining existence of veterans in our society. Approximately 77% of individuals in between the ages of 17 and 24 need some kind of waiver to serve due to any number of disqualifications.

Additionally, there are service member prep courses that prepare employees to fulfill the difficult requirements of military service. Moreover, DOD is looking for to reconnect with youth and their influencers by showing them the value of serving.
” The next generation of Americans to serve must understand that there has actually never been a better time for them to choose military service,” Helland stated.

” Youth today seek a larger purpose in their lives and desire tasks where they have greater involvement in decision-making and can develop a direct concrete impact,” she continued. “Military service provides all of this.”
Explaining that U.S. military service offers more than 250 professions which it represents one of the most extremely educated companies throughout the world and employment across all pay grades, Helland stated the Department is striving to counter the narrative that joining the military is an alternative to attending college or “a choice of last resort.”
” We are working to reframe this narrative so that Americans comprehend that military service is a pathway to higher education and career chances while defending democracy and the flexibilities we love,” Helland said.
She added that DOD is reframing this narrative. For example, the department’s Joint Advertising Market Research and employment Studies program will quickly launch a campaign to develop familiarity with the American public about the value of military service. Plans are also proceeding to have adult influencers advocate for military service.
