Welcome back to The MilVet Podcast! In this episode, we sit down with Rich Comitz, a dedicated veteran and Chief Operating Officer at American Corporate Partners (ACP), to discuss his remarkable journey from military service to academia and finally to his current role helping veterans transition into civilian careers.
Rich takes us through his time at West Point, his 23 years of service in the U.S. Army, and his unexpected path into higher education. We explore the challenges veterans face when transitioning out of the military, including the frustrations of applying to countless jobs with little response. Rich shares how networking, mentorship, and a bit of serendipity helped him land his position at Long Island University, and how this eventually led him to ACP.
He also gives us a deep dive into the work ACP is doing to help veterans and military spouses find their next career, build meaningful mentorship relationships, and thrive in the civilian workforce. Whether you're a transitioning veteran or someone who supports them, this episode offers valuable insights into navigating career pivots, embracing new opportunities, and finding success after service.
