Meet the Navy veteran connecting service academy grads with opportunities for life after the uniform (Williams II '20)
Published on November 13, 2026
U.S. Naval Academy graduate Cedric Williams II '20 is developing a professional networking platform designed to help veterans connect with career opportunities and navigate the transition from military service to civilian life. Described as a LinkedIn-like service, the platform aims to provide veterans with resources, professional connections and opportunities to build successful careers after leaving the military. Williams is building the platform he wishes had existed six years ago, recognizing the challenges service members can face when transitioning into the civilian workforce. His initiative seeks to create a dedicated space where veterans can connect with others who understand their experiences, develop professional relationships and explore employment opportunities.
