Who We Are:

The VYCC was founded and established by veterans to help all service members who are transitioning from active duty into a fulfilling civilian life. Every year, there are hundreds-of-thousands of veterans, reservists, guardsmen, and their families looking for careers as they exit their service. Coming back from military duty can be a daunting and stressful time. Finally moving on from military service into civilian life can be just as scary as frontline assault combat. Now more than ever, our valued servicemen and women need the country’s support and patriotism as they return home. Our VYCC Career Center is dedicated to the placement of individuals we serve in careers that fit their extraordinary motivation, loyalty, and skills. The VYCC assists our country’s heroes in attaining gainful, meaningful employment at our proud, American, finest military-friendly companies. We match employers to candidates through the use of pertinent and dynamic career exploration, unique online tools, relationships with key partner-employers, and our longevity and experience in the military career site business.

Whether a Veteran is recently separated or has been separated for a while, the VYCC is committed to assisting our Veterans that could benefit from the assistance we provide. Veterans are welcome to use our facilities for the purpose of bettering themselves. Whether it’s with a quick update to a resume, gain interview skills and insight, or jump into a remedial class to polish up skills.
