This year, our Virtual Counseling Cell expanded its global impact, delivering personalized credentialing support in 3,516 interactions with Soldiers in 10+ countries.

And we’re not slowing down. As demand continues to grow, so does our commitment to helping every service member turn their experience into opportunity.

In 2025, SOLID was officially sole-sourced for the MilGears contract, a clear validation of what years of results have demonstrated: SOLID is uniquely equipped to maintain and advance this mission-critical platform.

Users Engaged 173% increase in service members and veterans using Map My Future.

Badges Earned to Date 305% increase in digital badges earned, with more than 10,150 badges issued.

Badges Now Live 24 unique, skills-based digital badges now live on Map My Future.

SOLID isn’t just implementing solutions; we’re shaping the systems behind them. This year, our team helped:

• Standardize skills language as a Core Partner in the Partnership for Skills Validation (C-BEN).
• Advance national credential transparency through the Credential Engine Counting Credentials Research Advisory Group.
• Elevate the voice of the military-connected learners through board-level leadership at the Council for College and Military Educators (CCME).

In 2025, SOLID’s partnerships propelled MMF from a badging platform to a workforce connector, turning verified military-earned skills into real job opportunities. Anheuser-Busch’s adoption of MMF badges into its national hiring initiative—and our new integration with iDatafy’s SmartResume—demonstrates how employers are embracing MMF to identify and hire military-connected talent.

Map My Future is the trusted skills verification and credentialing layer the job-matching ecosystem needs, translating military experience into portable, proficiency-based signals employers and platforms can rely on. Unlike AI-only models that infer skills, MMF validates what individuals have earned and the level at which they can perform, making job matches more accurate, defensible, and aligned with real-world capabilities.

In 2025, SOLID launched its AI Committee to design smart, human-centered solutions that lighten the load.

We pair AI speed with expert insight to build tools that support, not substitute, our expert analysts.
