In this episode of 159 Seconds with Nikki Porcher, Nikki breaks down why Georgia should be the national leader in veteran workforce support. She shares her own experience transitioning out of the Air Force and navigating the job market both with and without a degree. Nikki explains how veterans often bring the exact skills Georgia employers need, yet the current system does not make that transition easy.

This episode explores the gap between veteran talent and opportunity, why the Department of Labor must play a stronger role, and how leadership can build real pathways from service to career. If you care about veterans, workforce access, and the future of Georgia, this is an episode to listen to and share.
