Next Mission Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Defense, within one year, to start a program giving multiyear grants to private nonprofit groups that help service members leave the military and find civilian jobs. The groups would provide free career assessments, job interview and salary negotiation training, industry-specific training toward credentials, and job placement to service members in the Transition Assistance Program and their spouses. Groups whose results have been checked by an independent third party would get priority. The authority to give grants would end three years after the program starts, and the Secretary would report results to Congress within six months after it ends.
