Bill > HR3611

This bill directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a comprehensive report to Congress within 180 days of enactment, focusing on how military personnel transition their professional credentials to civilian workforce opportunities. The report, which will build upon a 2018 Department of Defense (DoD) Credentialing Utilization report, must assess the effectiveness of Credentialing Programs by examining three key areas: the number of veterans successfully transferring professional credentials to civilian jobs, the most commonly used certifications for post-military employment (such as airplane mechanics), and the barriers veterans encounter when attempting to transfer their military mechanical skills to state-level certifications. The bill defines several important terms, including "eligible professional credential" as a professional certification obtained through military expense reimbursement programs, and clarifies that "State" includes all states, territories, and the District of Columbia. By mandating this report, the bill aims to better understand and potentially improve the process by which military servicemembers translate their skills and training into civilian career opportunities.
