When it comes to hiring veterans, much of the conversation is about how veterans can help themselves by translating their military skills to the civilian workforce.

31 FORT KNOX, Kentucky 2021 marks 30 years since the Army initiated the first ever program solely focused on transitioning Army Soldiers into civilian life. In 1991, just as the Berlin Wall hit the ground and as the first Gulf War ushered our Army into a new era, the Transition Assistance Program (TAP) was created.
As TAP celebrates its 30th anniversary, we are going back-to-basics with several strategic initiatives including a name change and a new program identity. On 26 October 2020, the Army-G1 approved the name change of the Army’s Transition Assistance Program from SFL-TAP to TAP.
The strategic objectives of the name change include raising awareness of TAP s successes; increasing support for and participation in the program; re-inspiring leaders, clients, and team members through education; and repositioning TAP to differentiate itself from other programs.
