On December 18th, ACP hosted a session with Leidos, a leading technology and engineering company, focused on helping Veterans translate their military background into a strong civilian professional identity. The discussion addressed the challenges of articulating experience outside the uniform and highlighted how the right tools and approach can make that transition clearer and more effective.
The session featured Mark Johnson, PMP, CSM, Director of Quality Engineering & Control at Leidos, who guided attendees through identifying their core strengths and communicating their professional story with purpose. Drawing from his own transition experience, Mark shared practical strategies for translating military skills into language that resonates with civilian employers.
Whether participants were exploring new career paths or preparing for their next professional step, attendees left with clear, actionable guidance to confidently showcase their skills and present themselves effectively in the civilian workforce.
