Adult Learning and Development Goals for Female Veterans' Career Transitions Amid Cultural Adaptation and Identity Formation
Greer, Tomika W.
New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, n166 p151-162 Sum 2020
Differences between military culture and civilian culture can affect the postmilitary experience for transitioning veterans. Adult educators should acquire and maintain a high level of military cultural competence to effectively serve female veterans as they transition out of the military. For women, the military-to-veteran transition also includes unique challenges related to identity formation, including occupational gender identity formation, which is not a salient concern for male veterans. Six learning and development goals are presented to guide adult educators in successfully facilitating the cultural adaptation and identity formation process for new female veterans.
