== Discontinuance of Transition (Goals, Plans, Success) Name for TAP Curriculum ==
On September 30, 2019 the DoD Transition to Veterans Program Office announced that the Transition Assistance Program curriculum<ref>[https://www.dvidshub.net/news/344597/farewell-transition-gps-goals-plans-success-changes-tap-include-dropping-tgps curriculum] would</ref> would no longer be referred to as Transition GPS (Goals, Plans, Success) or TGPS. The name TGPS was established after President Obama signed the Veterans Opportunity to Work (VOW) Act of 2011, which spurred the evolution of transition assistance and prompted the federal government to address veteran unemployment by preparing transitioning service members for post-separation careers.
 
There is no new formal name for the TAP curriculum, it is simply called the transition assistance curriculum, or TAP curriculum.
