This is not the official DoD TAP Program created in 2019. It is the new era for Civilian Readiness Academy.
TAP is a modern framework that converts military experience into civilian success. We guide transformation, accelerate advancement, and sustain a clear pathway long after separation.
The TAP mark blends two core ideas: measurable advancement and guided direction. The green ascending bars symbolize the stages of growth—education, employment, entrepreneurship, and community leadership—while the curving blue arrow represents the upward pathway from uniformed service to world-class civilian impact. The rounded frame conveys stability and trust.
DoD TAP is essential, but many members still leave with fragmented tools, outdated communication, and limited post-class momentum. TAP (Transformation Advancement Pathway) fills that gap with modern delivery, personalized planning, and continuous mentorship.
Every service member becomes a confident, high-impact civilian and global citizen—measured by meaningful work, resilient families, and sustained community leadership.
Advance readiness beyond the uniform through coaching, training, and pathways that convert military experience into civilian excellence.
Start with identity, values, and purpose. Map your strengths with a readiness check and convert your Eval/FITREP achievements into civilian competencies.
Build market-ready tools and proof. Practice interviews, networking, and salary strategies. Align education and credentials with target roles.
Execute a sequenced, time-bound plan. Join cohorts, mentors, and alumni community. Track wins and iterate as goals evolve.
Hampton Roads & online—accessible anywhere via commercewise.net/tap.
Engage as soon as you can. Come back often—readiness is a journey, not a one-time event.
Master tagline: Transforming Service into World-Class Citizenship.
