Purpose
At Talents ASCEND, our mission is to make our skills translator and online learning platform the foundational resource for service members, veterans, military spouses, the diversely abled, justice-impacted individuals, and career changers of all kinds.
We believe talent should be measured by skills and potential, not just job titles or résumés. That’s why we’re building a future where every person is recognized for what they can do; and where equitable access to opportunity is the standard, not the exception.

Our Strategic Vision for Growth & Impact
Our ultimate goal is to generate sustainable revenue that fuels the continued development of our skills translator and online learning platform, while creating measurable economic success for candidates, employers, and entire communities.
To achieve this, we aim to replace outdated unemployment systems and to serve as the modern solution for organizations that need a more strategic and future-ready connection between their talent pool and today’s workforce demands.
With our platform, we offer customized, skills-based matching and a monetizable model where all stakeholders benefit – empowering people to work, employers to hire smarter, and communities to thrive.
Founded by Robyn Grable, US Navy Veteran and Talent Optimization and Workforce Strategist. Following nine years of service, Robyn was told her civilian career would have to start at the bottom because her skills from the military wouldn’t translate.
Although it took her several years to climb back up, Robyn used her superpower to transform hiring barriers into career bridges. An award-winning advocate, speaker, author, entrepreneur, CEO, and proud Navy veteran Robyn Grable does many things. Yet woven throughout her diverse pursuits is a mission of service and a passion to give a voice for underserved talent to be included.
She created Veterans ASCEND in 2018 which expanded to what we are today, Talents ASCEND®. We are the leader in skills-based hiring. Affordable access to diverse, high-quality talent for businesses.
