In episode 7 of Hidden Talent, host Erin Trafford briefly recaps the previous episodes as we look forward and ask what can change, what can be done to create more confidence in Veterans seeking employment and employers hiring Veterans. How can we better communicate? How can we realign culture to leverage common skills and objectives?   Employers Sarah Dunkley and Janine Harris and 10-year military Veteran Chris Stoyles share their ‘ah-ha’ moments and lessons learned through the series. Challenge Factory president Lisa Taylor suggests clear ways Canadian civilians can change their perception of the military community and help smooth the path of transition for military members to civilian life and employment.   Highlights of the episode:   Lessons learned through this podcast about the the mission to bring employers together with the hidden talent of Canada's Veterans What Canadians can do to bridge the gap between civilian life and the military How Challenge Factory’s mission and approach to solving the problem is moving forward to connect employers and the Veteran talent pool
