Ten Steps Training and Coaching Mission

Inspiring and Marketing Ten Steps to a Federal Job Courses and Federal Resume Coaching for your customers.

“One of my biggest challenges is encouraging military spouses and military children in college to attend the Ten Steps class. However, those who do participate typically have a positive learning experience. I recently had a military child, a college student, attend the class alongside his mother. He was so impressed by the class that he’s thinking about pursuing a federal job after graduation – his mother shared this with me.”MS Calvo, Marine Corps Base Hawaii
