Scorelogix, the pioneer in job security metrics and analysis, announced today that it is offering free Re-Employability Score (RES) to any US veteran, Reservist or National Guard member returning from Iraq or Afghanistan. “We are excited to offer this valuable tool at no cost to Veterans of the United States Military, in appreciation of their national service” said David Watral, Director of Business Development at Scorelogix.
Dr. Watral recently returned from the 72nd Annual Conference of the National Association of State Workforce Agencies where he was invited as a panel speaker on skills assessment. There he heard Charles Ciccolella, Department of Labor’s Assistant Secretary of Veterans Employment and Training, speak about the challenges military personnel face in getting jobs and adjusting to civilian life, and it resonated well with Dr. Watral, who has a military background. Scorelogix had already entered into preliminary discussions with state and private organizations committed to helping veterans but Ciccolella’s presentation convinced him that Scorelogix should do more.
Unemployment among veterans is high and veterans face many hurdles when searching for a job. Dr. Michael Smith, an expert of veteran transition issues, in an interview on Military.com noted “four emergent themes or challenges …most veterans” face including “perceived lack of transferable skills, culture shock, employability, and financial concerns” And since Scorelogix is a leader in job outlook analytics, it realized that it was uniquely positioned to help veterans by helping them find jobs faster through by offering RES at no cost.
Scorelogix’s RES, which is based on a patent-pending statistical model, will greatly help returning military personnel in finding jobs by providing them a scientific analysis of their re-employability prospects based on their personal profiles and existing job markets. The RES also provides concrete recommendations on how to improve their chances of finding a job faster. “By offering our service through military-oriented job sites and other similar sites, we are helping those who have done so much for our country, besides it also helps Scorelogix gain visibility” says Dr. Watral. Non-veterans can also benefit from RES and can purchase their personal RES score and report for $19.95 for the Scorelogix website.
