National Veterans Transition Services, Inc. aka REBOOT

NVTS, Inc. is a San Diego-based 501 (c)(3) organization dedicated to assisting veterans in adjusting to civilian life and securing meaningful employment by combining best-practice performance social solutions and techniques. The organization was established by a group of retired high ranking Naval and Marine Corps officers and workforce development professionals who seek to fill a tremendous gap in the continuum of veteran services. We offer a unique military to civilian transition workshop called REBOOT. REBOOT Workshops is a free three-week intensive military-to-civilian transition workshop that provides extensive training focused on three areas: Personal Transition, Lifestyle Transition & Career Transition. REBOOT addresses the personal and social aspects of transitioning to civilian life by using research-based, outcome-driven methods drawn from best practices in career planning and cognitive-behavioral techniques. Our workshop training is supplemented with extended follow-up that enhances career opportunities, promotes social networking, and leverages peer support. REBOOT is available to military active duty, veterans of all wars, and spouses. Accomplishments: - Conducted 89 REBOOT Workshops and graduated over 1500 service members/veterans. - Maintained an employment/education success rate of 97 – 98%. - Documented a high retention rate one year after graduating from REBOOT. - Our model and system of delivery has been validated independently by the University of San Diego. - Gained national recognition as a "Champion of Change"​ by the White House. - Earned the support and confidence of Navy and Marine leadership in the region resulting in local transitioning service members being given official permission to take off three weeks to attend the workshop. - Successfully tested our ability to scale the workshop to multiple areas such as; San Diego, Oceanside, Irvine, Los Angeles, Norfolk, & Detroit without loss of quality, effectiveness, or impact.
