American Corporate Partners (ACP)
According to American Corporate Partners, “American Corporate Partners (ACP) is a national nonprofit organization focused on helping returning veterans and active duty spouses find their next careers through one-on-one mentoring, networking, and online career advice.
More than 1 million veterans are expected to transition from the armed forces to civilian life over the next five years. ACP engages the American people in a unique volunteer opportunity to provide career guidance to returning military as they transition back into civilian life.
We believe that the biggest issue facing our returning service members is not unemployment – it’s underemployment. ACP focuses on helping veterans and active duty spouses find meaningful employment opportunities and develop long-term careers.”

Veteran proteges can be service members who are still serving on active duty and planning for an upcoming transition or military retirement, recently separated veterans in the midst of a transition, veterans who separated several years ago who are currently employed, but looking to advance in a current civilian career, and student veterans who are seeking advice from successful business leaders in the private sector.
