Hero 2 Hired (H2H) Web Site 

The Army will utilize the Hero 2 Hired (H2H) <https://h2h.jobs/> as its interim
employment application/tool to provide one primary location where Soldiers of
all components, veterans, and family members can connect with private industry
employment opportunities. This application is web-based and able to translate
military occupational skills (MOS), provide career path exploration, upload
resumes, allow customized job searches, enable employers to also search for
veterans, and provide performance metrics. H2H will eventually be included on
eBenefits, the single portal for transition benefits.
 
The Army has conducted multiple transition studies and determined there was a
need to better prepare our Soldiers for post-military service, as well as to
enhance opportunities to connect Soldiers with private industry. The H2H
employment application tool is just one product of this ongoing effort. In
addition, the Army continues to support the White House Employment Initiative
and the Department of Defense- Department of Veterans Affairs (DOD-VA) Veterans
Employment Initiative Task Force (TF) in the development of a new transition
training and services delivery model to maximize the career readiness of all
Service members. The TF Implementation Plan will follow in the next couple of
months with detailed recommendations.
 
The Army will also continue to engage community, non-profit and private industry
partners as part of a comprehensive communications campaign to ensure employers
recognize the value in hiring Veterans. First and foremost, Soldiers bring the
Army ethos to the civilian sector unparalleled commitment to their mission,
determination for success, and loyalty to their organization. In addition, the
diverse skill sets of the thousands of Soldiers scheduled to transition over the
next few years are a uniquely rich resource for U.S. employers to tap into. 

Our Soldiers, veterans, and families face a number of challenges transitioning
from military to civilian life. Among these is finding a productive
post-military career more than 130,000 Soldiers separated from the Army last
year, and many are still unemployed. The Army has a responsibility to ensure
transitioning personnel have the support they need and deserve prior to
separating, and are career ready to enter the civilian workforce. The H2H
Employment Application Tool is just one component of the Army's enduring
commitment and efforts to ensure our transitioning members receive that support.
