Like many other veterans, Arnulfo Dauto found it difficult to adapt to civilian life. When he was medically retired after 12 years in the Air Force, Arnulfo wasn’t sure what was next for him. By then, he had a family to help support him, but he didn’t know how his job with the military police force would serve him in the civilian workforce. On top of that, he was dealing with injuries he sustained from his service, including traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Arnulfo felt like he didn’t know where to turn and wasn’t comfortable asking for help. “The hardest part is not having people there for you,” he said. “In the military, we’re all going through it. You have a team. If you’re trying to wade through all this by yourself, you’re going to get super lost and overwhelmed very quickly. That’s how I was for the first couple of years.” That all changed when Arnulfo connected with Wounded Warrior Project's Warriors to Work program and realized he didn’t have to face the challenges of transitioning to civilian life alone.

Meet Shannon Vail, a shining example of resilience and determination. Despite having an employment gap since the global pandemic, Shannon applied for the Department of Defense’s Military Spouse Accelerator Pilot, offered in collaboration between Hiring Our Heroes and Deloitte. After interviewing with several potential host companies, Shannon selected Amgen as her fellowship host company. “In true military spouse fashion, I did the interview in a hotel room as we moved cross-country for new orders,” she said. Fast-forward to the present, Shannon now holds a full-time position supporting process improvement initiatives across Amgen’s Research & Development. “Amgen continues to support me as a military spouse and has provided flexible employment as I have endured another military move. I am so grateful to them and this fellowship opportunity that solidified my professional growth," Shannon told Hiring Our Heroes. Interested in career opportunities in the pharmaceutical industry? A newly released report by Hiring Our Heroes and Cicero® shares success stories like Shannon’s, and highlights resources for military spouses and transitioning service members looking to venture into high-demand industries like pharmaceuticals.
