The Kuder Journey Tools are Tailored for the Military

Veterans or active members of the military can utilize the main features and tools of Journey as well as their own tailored options. For those wishing to pursue new education, the system provides access to information about the GI Bill. If individuals are looking to transition into civilian employment, resources are provided that enable users to find government employment opportunities; military financial aid; military-friendly employers; and certified counselors who can aid in the transition back into the community.
