Which of the following is NOT a component of the Transition Assistance Program?

• A. Pre-Separation Counseling
• B. Transition Goals, Plans, Success Workshop
• C. Veterans Affairs Benefits Briefings I and II
• D. Volunteer Excellence Program

Answer: (D)

TAP focuses on preparing service members for civilian life through counseling, structured transition planning, and benefits information. Pre-Separation Counseling provides initial planning and options; Transition GPS brings together goals, planning, and a personal transition roadmap in the Transition Goals, Plans, Success Workshop; VA Benefits Briefings I and II explain the benefits available to veterans. The Volunteer Excellence Program, while valuable for community involvement, is not part of TAP’s official curriculum. That makes it the item that does not belong to the Transition Assistance Program.
