Timothy Cochrane, president of ACP Citizens Program, explains how the non-profit is helping members of the military land jobs in the private sector. ACP works with returning vets through one-on-one mentoring.
Cochrane calls the transition from military back to private life "monumental." ACP is backed by over 70 Fortune 500 companies.
Cochrane, a former marine, says he was "terrified" when he left the military and started going on job interviews. ACP also launched a women's program in 2016, which pairs female veterans with senior executive level women in the workplace.
The CEO of the King Center in Atlanta says she hopes to spur progress during this year's observances of Martin Luther King Jr. Day by helping more Americans personalize the struggle for racial equity and harmony.
