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.

Self-Enrichment Teachers

The verified NEC entry establishes Navy instructional experience that can transfer to civilian noncredit instruction in a subject the applicant knows well.

How to prepare: Identify a subject you actually taught that fits a civilian self-enrichment course, then prepare a sample lesson to discuss with a local adult-learning provider.

What the civilian work involves
  • Instruct students individually and in groups, using various teaching methods, such as lectures, discussions, and demonstrations.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Microsoft PowerPoint
