1 BUILD YOUR FUTURE: CROSSWALK THEY VE DEFENDED AMERICA, NOW LET S HELP THEM BUILD IT.

2 GETTING STARTED AND DEFINITTIONS INTRODUCTION Did you know that nearly 200,000 soldiers are transitioning each year and have a difficult time translating their acquired skills and experience into marketable civilian jobs/careers? Do you receive quite a few military applications, but are challenged by the language and skill set that individuals possess? Hard Hat Heroes has created a task-based alignment that will close that communication gap between employers and veterans. This document will help construction industry hiring representatives identify the knowledge and skills candidates possess, focus on the specific training they need and ultimately place soldiers more effectively. PURPOSE NCCER wants to give credit to military members for the training they received while in the service. Transitioning military and veterans are able to go to veterans.byf.org and submit their existing training to receive NCCER credentials and view the areas where they need additional training. This alignment is provided to assist hiring managers in identifying the existing knowledge and skills a veteran has and to outline the training he or she needs to be fully competent. WHAT THIS ALIGNMENT IS ABOUT Hard Hat Heroes has identified Air Force Specialty Codes (AFSC) that have training that align directly with NCCER craft training. These codes are organized into sections and a table is provided for each one defining NCCER s crafts, levels and modules that align to that specific military specialty code. If the training in the military is equivalent to NCCER training, an X will appear under the credit column. If an X does not appear under the credit column then additional training is required for a craft level completion. Each module builds upon one another to accomplish a level completion and this information is tracked in NCCER s Registry System. An industryrecognized credential is awarded with level completions and each craft usually has three to four levels. NCCER DEFINITIONS NCCER Curriculum is broken down by craft/discipline, is competency-based, modular in format and compliant with Department of Labor Office of Apprenticeship requirements. CRAFT: Another name for a trade (i.e. carpentry, masonry and welding). NCCER refers to individuals working in a trade as being a craft professional. MODULE: This is an instructional unit which makes up NCCER s curriculum levels. These units are generally referred to as chapters in textbooks. Module completions require successful completion of both a written test and performance test when available. LEVEL: A number of modules designed and sequenced to form approximately one year of training and/or a minimum of 144 hours of instruction. CREDENTIAL: A document or certificate with NCCER s stamp of approval stating an individual has completed training in specific craft areas. visit veterans.byf.org for more information. Ι
