Military Outreach Program

The PMINEO Military Outreach Program is here to help veterans, active duty, retired military personnel and spouses in career project management. Veterans who transition from active duty to civilian life are often overlooked as project managers and we want to help fill that void.

Military veterans have a unique set of experiences, training, leadership and discipline that organizations need, and they can transition their military experience into project management experience, earn a certification and build a great career!

If you have additional questions or would like to learn more, please visit the PMINEO Military Outreach page.
