Ten years ago, Transition Overwatch founder Sean Ofeldt was in an all-too-familiar position faced by every military member at transition – uncertainty. Leaving the military was like jumping out of an airplane and leaving everything he knew behind. Trying to navigate a new world in the total absence of resources and a team was extremely difficult. Sean didn’t want to continue doing what he did in the military, and had no mechanism to discover career paths that were optimized for his experience and skillset. That journey set Sean on a path to discover a better way to approach military transition.

Through the lens of Sean’s experience, and years of ideation, the Team at Transition Overwatch has determined that The Unconventional Apprenticeship is the optimal way for military members to successfully transition into a civilian career and launch into a path with unlimited growth. We believe that even though transition is hard, you shouldn’t have to “embrace the suck.”
