The Employment Readiness Program

The Employment Readiness Program provides career assistance and job lead referrals to soldiers, spouses, and military family members as they transition in and out of Fort Drum.

The program offers a series of career development workshops to enhance the job searching experience. Employment Readiness educators can also hold one on one appointments to assist with job searching, resumes, interviews, and career development.

The Army knows that employment is one of the most significant issues for Military Families. Therefore, the goal of the Fort Drum ACS Employment Readiness Program is to assist Families with their job search particularly as they are impacted by such a mobile lifestyle.
