If a Soldier wishes to schedule an appointment, they may contact our local TAP counselors at 337-531-1591.  Contact information for all TAP centers can be found on www.armytap.army.mil or by going to the installation webpage or Facebook page.

HOW DOES TAP WORK?

Effective, August 29, 2022, all Service members planning to transition within 12-24 months of their separation date are now required to complete their registration and self-assessment online at https://portal.armytap.mil .

Once you have completed this process, contact your local TAP center to schedule your Individualized Initial Counseling.

All Soldiers who are separating, retiring, or being released from a period of at least 180 days of active duty must complete TAP.

  1. Attend Individualized Initial Counseling (IIC).
  2. Complete TAP Workshops, to include pre-separation counseling, Army Day, VA benefits briefings, DOL workshops, and complete all assignments required by the program. Please click here for class schedule.
  3. Attend the Capstone event, at least 90 days from transition date, where the transition counselor ensures that Career Readiness Standards (CRS) are met, and will generate an electronic DD2648 (eForm) for Commander Signature.

Career Skills Program

The Army Career Skills Program (CSP) provides Soldiers with the opportunity to participate in a civilian career and employment skills training (internship) to improve post-military employment opportunities. The internship allows Soldiers to take administrative or unchargeable leave to gain on-the-job training with a civilian employer. Please contact us for more information.

Eligibility:

  • Internships may start 180 days prior to ETS/retirement.
  • Special priority to those who are 18-24 years old, first term enlistments, involuntary separating due to force shaping, rapid separation from active duty, or separating due to medical disabilities.
  • Soldiers MUST complete all TAP Career Readiness Standards (CRS) prior to internship.
  • CSP training provider may provide additional selection criteria for specific programs.
