Civilian Career Paths

Career associations are editorial assessments of the cited evidence, not an official crosswalk unless the evidence explicitly says so. O*NET supplies civilian occupation information, not proof of a military match. Related experience does not confer civilian qualifications. Tasks and tools below describe civilian work, not military training.

Audio and Video Technicians

Installing and operating military visual information systems, including video teleconferencing equipment, transfers directly to civilian AV setup and operation.

How to prepare: Practice setting up and troubleshooting a video conference using Teams, Zoom, or Webex, and document the setup and faults resolved.

What the civilian work involves
  • Diagnose and resolve media system problems.
  • Install, adjust, and operate electronic equipment to record, edit, and transmit radio and television programs, motion pictures, video conferencing, or multimedia presentations.
