On April 14th, ACP hosted a live webinar with SPA, a U.S.-based professional services firm specializing in data-driven analysis, engineering, and strategic consulting to support national security, defense, and federal government decision-making. The session focused on career opportunities for Veterans and military-connected professionals within a mission-driven organization.
The discussion featured Jessica Villarreal (Program Manager), Chris Tousley (Director of Talent Acquisition), and Mary Caudle (Talent Acquisition Lead), who highlighted a range of roles across the organization, including analysts, engineers, and corporate and mission-support positions. They also shared why the military community is uniquely well-suited for SPA’s work and how the organization supports Veterans through mentorship, professional development, and an inclusive culture.
Attendees gained insight into SPA’s hiring process, along with practical strategies for translating military experience, networking effectively, and preparing for interviews. Whether exploring future opportunities or actively job searching, participants left with valuable guidance on building a meaningful post-service career at SPA.
