Google on Monday announced several new online tools designed to help former members of the military find jobs or attract new customers to their businesses.

One tool allows vets to type in the search term “jobs for veterans” followed by specific military job codes to see civilian jobs with skill requirements that match their service experience.

The military job code feature also has been deployed to Google’s Cloud Talent solution, which is used by FedEx Careers, Encompass Health Careers, Siemens Careers, CareerBuilder, Getting Hired and others.

“We hope to use our technology to help veterans understand the full range of opportunities open to them across many different fields,” noted Google Cloud Program Manager Matthew Hudson, who served as a civil engineer in the U.S. Air Force.

“Right now those opportunities are getting lost in translation,” he continued. “There isn’t a common language that helps recruiters match a veteran’s experience with the need for their skills and leadership in civilian jobs. As a result, one in three veterans — of the roughly 250,000 service members who transition out of the military each year — end up taking jobs well below their skill level.”
