You do not need to have your entire career figured out before joining FourBlock. You may be preparing to leave the military, navigating a recent transition or realizing that your first civilian role is not where you want to stay. You may see yourself here if you:

  • Know you are ready for something new but are unsure which direction to take.
  • Have valuable military experience but need help translating it for civilian employers.
  • Know the industry or role you want but need stronger relationships and a clearer path into it.
  • Want to understand how companies work, what employers value and where your experience fits.
  • Are changing careers, returning to work or looking for greater purpose and advancement.
  • Want more than résumé advice or a quick job connection.
  • Value honest guidance, meaningful relationships and a community that will continue to support you.
  • FourBlock is built for people who are ready to participate, ask questions, explore possibilities and take an active role in shaping what comes next.

Explore the Spring 2027 Cohort Schedule

The Veteran Career Readiness Program is a ten-week experience that combines career readiness curriculum, coaching, networking, and direct employer engagement. Participants move through a structured learning journey focused on translating military experience into civilian opportunity while building the skills, confidence, and connections needed for long-term career success.

The curriculum is designed around FourBlock's Core Six outcomes: Clarity, Confidence, Community, Career Readiness, Career Mobility, and Economic Mobility.

Participants develop a deeper understanding of their strengths, values, and career interests while building practical skills in networking, personal branding, interviewing, salary negotiation, and professional relationship building. The goal is not simply to prepare for a job search, but to prepare for a successful civilian career.

FourBlock's Career Readiness Program meets once per week for ten weeks, with each live cohort session lasting approximately two hours.

Meeting days and times vary by cohort. Most Spring 2027 cohorts meet from 6–8 PM, with some daytime and afternoon options available.

In addition to weekly sessions, participants should plan time for networking, employer engagement, and independent career development activities.

Review the current cohort schedule to identify options that align with your availability before applyin

FourBlock is an employer-embedded career readiness program.

Throughout the semester, participants engage directly with professionals, hiring leaders, and executives from leading companies across a variety of industries. Rather than learning about careers in theory, participants gain firsthand insight into industries, career pathways, and workplace cultures while expanding their professional network.

In addition to the weekly curriculum, participants gain access to FourBlock's broader career readiness ecosystem. Throughout the semester, you'll have opportunities to attend Industry Pathways Events, engage with employer partners, connect with alumni, and participate in local networking and community Meetups.

These experiences provide valuable exposure to different industries, career paths, and employers while helping you expand your professional network beyond the classroom. Whether you're exploring career options, building relationships, or seeking industry-specific insights, these opportunities are designed to support your transition and long-term career growth.

Graduation is the beginning of your FourBlock journey, not the end.

Participants join a national alumni community of thousands of veterans and military spouses and gain continued access to networking opportunities, Industry Pathways Events, employer engagement opportunities, local Meetup events, and professional development resources.

The goal is to create lasting community and career mobility that extends well beyond the ten-week program experience.

Yes!  We have a program for you.  FourBlock’s Military Spouse Career Mobility Program is a free, 10-week virtual experience that helps military spouses gain career clarity, communicate their value, build professional connections, and create a practical plan for what comes next.
