What Makes FourBlock Unique

FourBlock is shaping the future of veteran transition and veteran career readiness by building a nationwide community of veterans and employers dedicated to supporting returning service members as they pursue meaningful careers after the military. We bring together a veteran with an employer so that they may have a conversation about career opportunities, learn from one another, and begin to build a professional relationship.

Transitioning service members and veterans can connect with the FourBlock community wherever they are, so they can learn best career transition practices, explore career opportunities, and build their own professional networks.

The Fourblock Experience

At the core of our program is relationship building – bringing together a veteran with an employer so that they can learn from one another, begin to build a professional relationship, and discuss career opportunities. The purpose of each session is to facilitate this type of conversation for every participant and corporate representative in attendance. Our curriculum is designed to prepare each participant for this moment and subsequent relationship-building conversations.

After the course is finished, our team is available to continue to work with alumni as they begin to take action on discovering a new purpose in a meaningful civilian career. FourBlock alumni are encouraged to become active members of our community in whatever way makes sense for them. This might be serving as a future Career Readiness Instructor, a volunteer Career Readiness Coach, serving on an employer panel, or hiring from our next cohort of veterans.

FourBlock’s Career Readiness Program empowers transitioning service members and veterans with the skills, confidence, and network needed to build meaningful civilian careers. In partnership with top companies and Columbia University, the program blends professional development, mentorship, and real-world career insights.

Participants meet weekly with employer representatives to explore different industries, practice job search skills, and build relationships with both veteran and civilian professionals. The program runs each fall and spring in major cities nationwide and in virtual cohorts available to participants around the globe. It is offered at no cost to veterans and is led by Career Readiness Instructors and volunteers from leading companies.

Each participant is also matched with a Career Readiness Coach who provides personalized guidance and support throughout the process. Graduates emerge with a refined career search strategy, a stronger understanding of corporate culture, and a growing professional network. Alumni continue to receive career counseling and access to nationwide networking and professional development opportunities.
