About this episode

The episode discusses how AI is reshaping the workforce and the alignment of veterans with emerging job roles.

Part II of our podcast with Hire Heroes USA, Redeployable, and Gerald Irvin (Hire Heroes USA client) to discuss a new report that takes a closer look at how AI is reshaping the workforce—and where veterans fit into that shift. What it finds is pretty compelling: veterans aren’t just employable in this changing landscape, they’re actually well aligned with many of the roles expected to see the most long-term growth and stability. As more routine tasks become automated, the demand for skills like judgment, leadership, and adaptability is only increasing—and those are areas where veterans already have a strong foundation. The report, called “The AI Career Shift: Where Veterans Should Focus in 2026,” highlights clear trends around where veterans tend to find the most career satisfaction, stronger retention, and long-term stability in this evolving job market.
