S 5143 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Translating Military Skills into Civilian Jobs Act of 2024

This bill requires the military to provide each service member with a standardized "competency record" upon separation or retirement. The record details their specific training, certifications, dates, and qualifications - replacing vague service records with clear, employer-friendly documentation. The Secretary of Defense must create a uniform format within one year and report to Congress on implementation and employer feedback within two years. It directly affects transitioning service members seeking civilian jobs by making their military skills easier for employers to understand.
