For transitioning veterans

Veterans don't leave the military lacking potential,
they leave lacking direction

Our Mission

Civilian Compass gives veterans the structure they're used to so they can translate their service experience into a civilian career.

Langly Barth, a former Naval Officer, saw firsthand how difficult the transition from military to civilian life can be. He experienced the same pain many veterans face when navigating the job market. You have skills, you have ability — but not all of those attributes fit neatly into a role outside of the military. The typical experience throws a number of roles that are ‘well-suited’ for military members, but often lacks the nuance of what veterans are truly capable of.

After more than a thousand conversations with veterans navigating their transition, Barth decided to do something about it, creating Civilian Compass. Civilian Compass helps military veterans transition into the civilian job market by providing a framework built using insights from over 1,200 veteran transitions. This framework helps veterans diagnose, plan, and navigate their next mission.
