Transition Assistance Program – The Airman and Family Readiness Center fully delivers all Veterans Opportunity to Work mandates to provide information, tools and training to ensure service members are prepared for the next step in civilian life, whether pursuing additional education, finding a career or starting their own business. All separating and retiring military personnel must begin the Federal TAP requirements, NLT 365 days from your DOS/DOR/ADSC, regardless of intent to re-enlist/extend. It is highly encouraged for Separates/Retirees to start the Transition process up to 2 years prior to their estimated Separation/Retirement date. Below is a breakdown of the 5 Congressional Steps:
5 Congressionally mandated steps for transition (TAP):
Step 1: Initial Counseling appointment: A 1:1 appointment to determine your individual TAP needs (Required even if extending/re-enlisting)
Step 2: Pre-Separation: A 2.0-hour class that is a pre-requisite to the TAP workshop (Required even if extending/re-enlisting)
Step 3: Transition Workshop: A 3-day mandated class offered twice a month
Step 4: 2 Day Tracks- determined at your initial counseling, based upon your initial self-assessment. (Employment, Education, Entrepreneurship and Vocational)
Step 5: Capstone: A 1:1 final appointment to complete the TAP requirements.
Please note: participation in the TAP program DOES NOT initialize separation or retirement. Anyone can take these classes…even as a fact-finding mission and are now valid for 4 years!
