In this episode of the Close The Deal Podcast, host Ewell welcomes Shelby Mounts, the Executive Director of NextOp Veterans, to discuss how the organization helps enlisted veterans transition into industry careers. NextOp's mission is to bridge the gap between military service and civilian employment, providing valuable opportunities for veterans.
Shelby shares his military background, including graduating from Annapolis and serving in various roles in the Navy, before retiring as a captain in 2017. He then transitioned to private industry before joining NextOp in 2022. NextOp focuses on connecting enlisted veterans to career opportunities through career services and case management, ensuring a smooth transition to civilian life.
NextOp offers career services such as resume refinement, interview skill improvement, and job matching. While historically focused on industries like oil and gas, construction, and logistics, they are expanding into healthcare, cybersecurity, and aerospace/defense to create more diverse opportunities for veterans.
A significant partnership for NextOp is with Blue Forge Alliance, strengthening the Navy submarine industrial base workforce. They aim to place veterans in submarine-related jobs or training programs like ATDM. NextOp's expansion efforts include new geographies like North Texas, West Tennessee, and North Alabama, focusing on key industries for veteran employment.
NextOp utilizes word of mouth, social media marketing, in-person events, and partnerships with organizations like NASCAR to spread awareness about their services and job opportunities for veterans.
Veterans and employers can visit nextopvets.org to learn more and get involved. Shelby encourages veterans to start early in their transition process, network actively, and explore career opportunities.
