Icheon City announced on October 23, 2025 that it will run a practical coaching program for discharged and soon-to-be-discharged military officers to help them transition smoothly into civilian life and start new careers. The program, developed through public-private-military collaboration, aims to support veterans in settling into the local community and beginning new career paths. Target participants are officers, non-commissioned officers, and civilian staff at nearby military units, and the initiative goes beyond simple job placement to re-design career trajectories so military experience becomes civilian competitiveness. Participants will receive coaching from current HR professionals and specialized interview assessors to craft tailored resumes, respond to application screenings, and engage in intensive interview training. The program is designed to help veterans refine leadership and organizational skills honed during service to meet private-sector demands. “We will provide proactive city-level support so that military personnel who served the nation can design a stable second life in Icheon after discharge,” said Kim Kyung-hee, mayor of Icheon.
