Join us for Season 3, Episode 13 of VET S.O.S. as we welcome Molly Bode,
Executive Director of Kentucky Valor! Molly shares how Kentucky Valor,
an initiative of the Kentucky Science and Technology Corporation, is
breaking down barriers for veterans and their families by providing
accelerated occupational licensure pathways and career opportunities in
Kentucky.
In this episode, Molly dives deep into the program's 44
accelerated pathways across 55 categories, covering over 180 military
occupations in high-demand fields such as healthcare, education, and
skilled trades. She highlights the success of the Valor pilot program,
which has streamlined the transition process for veterans by recognizing
their military training and experience for civilian licensure. Molly
also discusses Kentucky Valor's ambitious expansion plans, including
potential overseas initiatives to support service members stationed
abroad and the development of a cutting-edge custom portal that will
allow veterans and military spouses to independently search for job
opportunities and licensure pathways.

supports veterans and military spouses with personalized career
guidance, advocacy, and licensure support, helping them transition
