Empowered Airmen

We live in a world that is driven by rapidly changing technology and an environment that includes aggressive and capable global competitors. Airmen are key to cutting unnecessary bureaucracy, recognizing and understanding our competition, and thinking of creative ways we can reshape the design of our Air Force. The Air Force must accelerate, must change, and must prepare for the future!

This page is dedicated towards highlighting the accomplishments of our talented Airmen at all levels and to show the impact they can make when they are informed and empowered to problem solve and make smart recommendations and decisions.

Sgt. Justin Kim, an avionic mechanic in Delta Company, 2-2 Assault Helicopter Battalion, 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade, Camp Humphreys, Republic of Korea, used Army Emergency Relief's Career Skills Support Program to travel back to the United States to participate in an internship. Kim is beginning his transition to civilian life and is taking part in the U.S. Army's Career Skills Program.

CSP gives retiring and separating Soldiers to participate in skills training during their transitional periods to improve their civilian employment options. The program’s focus is on pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeships, on-the-job training, internships, job shadowing and other types of employment skills training during Soldiers’ last 180 days of service.

Active-duty Soldiers E1-E9, O1-O3 and W1-W5 are eligible for CSSP grants from $250 to $1,000 based on location. The money helps offset the out-of-pocket costs Soldiers incur when participating in CSP.
