This seminar, along with other planned virtual classes, such as Decoding Military Skills for Civilian Employers, is helping to set transitioning Service members on a path to post military career success. Nationally renowned personal finance coach Peter Bielagus, “Young America's Financial Coach,” made a surprise celebrity guest appearance during the May 18 session to share his insights with the virtual class.
