Veterans Inventory

Operation Economic Transformation is the Greater Killeen Chamber of Commerce plan to identify, measure, and capitalize on new and emerging economic development opportunities present in the Fort Hood region. One key recommendation was to regularly administer a survey designed to capture insightful information regarding the skills and desired career fields of veterans separating from military service at Fort Hood. In July 2006, the following parties entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to routinely inventory the intentions, educational level, skills, employment desires, and suggestions of separating Soldiers in order to improve the Fort Hood regional “Quality of Place”:

Fort Hood Adjutant General/Army Career and Alumni Program (ACAP)
Workforce Solutions of Central Texas - Board
Workforce Solutions of Central Texas - Service Centers
Greater Killeen Chamber of Commerce
Heart Of Texas Defense Alliance
texas Veterans Commission

Data is collected via a voluntary twelve-question survey administered during either the Transition Assistance Program (TAP) workshop or installation final clearance1. The purpose for the collection and analysis of this data is threefold:

Develop and retain the region’s skilled and motivated military Veteran workforce;;
Foster innovation and entrepreneurship; retain existing businesses, and attract new business to the region; and
Align the efforts of the participating agencies to enhance options for current and future/potential residents.
