A Marine Corps veteran and former Drill Instructor, Matthew was referred to the Bob Hope Veterans Support Program by a previous client.  He was unsure about the transition into civilian life after joining the Marine Corps at 18. 

"I was scared about becoming a civilian -- when the military is all you know, it can be scary.  My Employment Specialist really found out what I wanted to do and the career path I wanted to take," he said.

Working one-on-one with his Employment Specialist, Matthew was able to translate his military experience and expertise when it comes to attention to detail and logistics into a job placement with a local construction company as a Lead Project Engineer.
