Boots2Roots

Boots2Roots assists active-duty military members, Veterans and military spouses find meaningful work in Maine while providing a pipeline of military talent to Maine's workforce. Our program consists of three parts:

1. Transition coaching- We help translate military skills into experiences that civilian hiring managers will understand through resume coaching, Interview coaching, career coaching and transition coaching. Our coaches are all based in Maine and know what Maine businesses are looking for from job applicants.

2. Networking- We start by connecting new "Teammates" with one of our Peer Mentors. Peer Mentors are Maine veterans who have already successfully transitioned to work in Maine. They help connect you with business opportunities and can answer questions about transitioning to civilian life in Maine. We also connect you to our network of Maine businesses and professional organizations who are eager to hire military talent. Finally, we connect you to the network of Veterans Service Organizations in the state.

3. Workforce Attraction- Boot2Roots is the only organization in Maine working exclusively to bring military members, veterans and spouses to Maien's workforce. We do this through virtual and in-person hiring events, digital and print advertising and marketing with community and businesses stakeholders.
