From soldier to civilian
Successfully transition to the civilian workforce with a career as a Thrivent financial advisor.
We are proud to be partnering with SkillBridge
Thrivent was founded over 120 years ago as a membership-owned organization of Christians.
Today, we're a Fortune 500 financial services organization that helps people build solid financial futures and live meaningful lives.
And we're growing. So, as you transition to civilian life, consider exploring a career as a Thrivent financial advisor.
"I had served for many years in the Marine Corps. After, what I had lost was that greater purpose—what's my bigger purpose in life? The reason I came to Thrivent was I could find that again in helping clients. It wasn't the same as being in the military, but I could still have that greater purpose in my life. And that's really why I was called here."
