Bottom line up front
Most veterans use multiple programs during transition — each covers different skills. This matrix shows which programs actually teach the skill you need (✓), touch on it (~), or deliver it through a placement (♢), so you can pick programs strategically rather than collect them.
Looking for a program overview instead? The companion tool, Transition Programs You Should Know, covers SkillBridge, COOL credentialing, BDD claims, federal hiring, and timeline strategy.
