Career Roadmap

Understanding Corporate Security

For veterans new to corporate security, understanding its practices broadens career prospects, making military skills like risk assessment and crisis management more effective. This knowledge aids in career decisions, professional development, networking, and gaining a competitive edge, ensuring versatility and job satisfaction.

Training & Certification

At LockBox, we engage with military members 18-12 months before their EAS date to guide them in corporate security practices, enrolling them in relevant online training. Veterans might need additional education or certifications to meet the requirements of certain civilian careers. Partnerships with training institutions enable GI Bill payment for certifications needed for employment.

Network Development

Veterans have access to other professionals and veterans with relevant experience for support during their acclimation. They will be able to develop a community of peers and friends who can guide them toward employment opportunities, events, and activities that help them engage effectively in their new civilian careers.

Career Advice
& Opportunities

We cultivate partnerships with service providers to facilitate veteran employment. Corporate Security offers the highest return on investment and upward mobility compared to fields like guarding security, for instance. Employers actively seek veterans for their experience and client preferences. We help veterans gain practical experience through project-based work, leading to long-term career opportunities.

Mentorship
& Coaching

Veterans can partner with a LockBox Mentor for guidance during their transition, receiving support in decision-making and network building. Mentors organize workshops focused on specific topics or areas, enhancing visibility and convenience for veterans and connecting them with peers, industry professionals, and recruitment experts.

Emotional Health

LockBox nurtures relationships with mental and emotional health coaches to prioritize holistic well-being alongside professional growth.
