Impact of Conscripts’ Skill-learning on Their Post-service Life

The raison d’etre of armed forces and the employment of conscripts in these forced is to maintain the preparedness in defending national territorial integrity. The employment of conscripts in any religion and ethnicity with any type of expertise and ability seems logical in meeting the purposes of military service. However, in addition to employing the soldiers for the aims of military service, it is necessary to satisfy their skill needs to help them in post-service employment. Accordingly, the main aim of this study is to explain the relation between skill learning by the soldiers with their post-service life; the secondary aim is to identify the factors affecting the skill learning by soldiers. Thus, the questions of the research have been made in compliance with the aims. It is an applied research conducted in mixed-method correlation. In order to analyze the data, a questionnaire was distributed among 100 people in the statistical population (Since the statistical population is limited, the sample population and statistical population are the same). The results reveal that there are 26 factors affecting the skill learning of soldiers, which affect their post-service life. 92% of these factors have a positive and direct impact on the post-service life of the conscripts, while 8% forge a negative and inverse relation with it. In order to compare the findings of the research with practical facts, a questionnaire was distributed among 20 conscripts holding a B.A or B.S degree in different military organizations. The results show that 85% of the answers match the responses obtained from the statistical population.
