Last week, NextOp was in the room where workforce strategy gets made. Our North Texas Regional Manager, Charles Bischoff, spoke at the Dallas Regional Chamber Opportunity Summit on building a stronger veteran talent pipeline for the Dallas region.

DFW is home to over 366,000 veterans, yet more than 1 in 3 are underemployed. This isn’t a lack of skill, it’s a gap in how veteran talent is understood.

NextOp is changing the narrative:
- For Veterans: We provide one-on-one coaching to translate military experience into roles that match their true potential.
- For Employers: We bridge the gap by matching your workforce needs with day-one-ready candidates from our 950+ talent pipeline.

As we transition into PTSD Awareness Month this June, this work is more critical than ever. Meaningful, skills-aligned employment directly supports veteran health and community wellbeing.

If your organization is ready to build a veteran talent pipeline in DFW, partner with us today: https://nextopvets.org/become-employer/

23 years in the U.S. Navy prepares you for almost anything. Except the civilian job market.

When Jason Gregory retired after more than two decades of service, he faced a question that keeps many veterans up at night: "How am I going to support my family after the military?"

He knew he had leadership and technical skills, but translating 23 years of Navy experience into civilian-friendly language felt like an overwhelming hurdle.

That’s where NextOp stepped in. We worked with Jason to:
📝 Author a resume that civilian hiring managers actually understand
🗣️ Decode military experience into corporate value
🤝 Gain direct access to hiring managers and real job openings

Today, Jason is stepping into his next chapter with clarity, confidence, and peace of mind. As he puts it: "Transitioning out of the military is never easy, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming."
