Open Now — No Federal Approval Required to Start

Your Service Already Prepared You. We Make Sure Someone Sees It.

Most veterans don't realize how directly their service translates into real-world work. A logistics background is a supply chain career. A combat engineer's hands are already a tradesman's hands. Years of leading people under real pressure is a management résumé most civilians never earn. The gap isn't ability — it's translation.

Available Now Résumé translation, network connection, Tradeforce enrollment — open to any veteran today

In Development DoD SkillBridge partnership — pre-discharge pathway, not yet approved

Constitutional Basis Founding Constitution, Article III — veterans named alongside returning citizens

SEC. 01 — TWO PATHWAYS, NOT ONE

What's Available Today vs. What's In Development

These are genuinely different, and IMAGO won't blur them together to make the offering sound bigger than it currently is.

PATHWAY 1

Standard Enrollment — Available Now

Any already-separated veteran can start today: résumé translation, direct connection into IMAGO's contractor and business network, and Tradeforce enrollment if that's the right fit. No federal partnership, no special approval — nothing new required to begin.

PATHWAY 2

DoD SkillBridge — In Development

SkillBridge lets service members in their final ~180 days of active duty work with an approved civilian partner while still drawing full military pay. IMAGO intends to pursue approved industry-partner status, which requires a formal MOU with a military department — not automatic, and not yet in place.

Stated plainly, both parts: IMAGO is not yet an approved SkillBridge industry partner. And separately — even once that partnership exists — each individual service member still needs their own commanding officer's approval to participate. Official DoD sources describe this as discretionary ("permissive, not entitled"), and commands can and do deny it. We won't imply this is guaranteed for anyone.

SEC. 02 — WHAT IMAGO ACTUALLY DOES FOR A VETERAN

The Service Offering

Skills Translation

Mapping military occupational specialty and leadership experience directly onto civilian trade and career language.

Résumé Creation

A real, ready-to-use civilian résumé built from that translation — not a template you fill in alone.

Direct Connection

Linked into IMAGO's existing network of contractors and business partners — not a generic job board.

A Place to Go

Housing and family stabilization support, so the transition includes somewhere to live, not just somewhere to work.

SEC. 03 — NOT ONE ENTRY LEVEL

A Range Matched to Experience

Military experience varies enormously in scope and leadership responsibility. IMAGO's veteran pathway reflects that rather than treating every veteran as an entry-level associate:

Associate — building a trade credential from the ground up, same as any other associate
Employee — stepping directly into a paid operational role where existing skills already match a need
Director or Mentor — for veterans with significant leadership, logistics, or management experience, guiding other associates or helping run IMAGO's own operations may be the better fit from day one

SEC. 04 — THE SAME NEED, A DIFFERENT UNIFORM

Family Support Isn't an Afterthought

Military families and IMAGO's associate families share real, structural needs: financial literacy that a career moving every two years rarely allows time to build, continuing education put on hold, and the basic need for stable work that supports a household, not just an individual. IMAGO's Family ring exists for exactly this — extended the same way to veteran families who need it.
