We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that provides low-cost access to skills training and education for adults, specifically veterans, who are transitioning to the civilian workforce. We provide coaching, access to education and resources for veterans in transition and for their families. In addition, we are also focused on training and educating hiring managers about the best ways to recruit, hire and manage veterans in civilian-managed companies.
Soft Skills for the Workplace
We work with accredited psychosocial skills providers to create training that prepares military service members for a shift to the civilian workforce.
Curriculum for HR Teams
We also fund research and development for curriculum that helps
companies learn how to hire, engage and retain veterans. It comes down to essentially breaking the language barrier and knowing what to expect.
Solve the labor shortage by hiring some of our nation's most loyal, dependable, technically proficient, well-trained critical thinkers and leaders.
Local Biz Camp
W e host events around the country for small business and nonprofits, with specific content for veteran-owned businesses, encouraging a good mix of civilian and vet-lead organizations for building local connections and to create awareness in both segments. We have events in 29 cities for 2020!
Because of Covid-19, all 27 remaining Local Biz Camp events for 2020 have been canceled. We are working to pivot to an online or virtual experience.
All tickets have been refunded in full.

Thank you to our amazing sponsors who have stayed on board and are helping to continue to offer valuable skills training for veterans and their family members. We partner with these great local orgs for every camp.
We are helping to fund the development of a new portal
called The Transition Hub that helps veterans and their family members
map out a clear plan for their new civilian life after military service.
Local organizations, connections and opportunities all
grouped together in a single system. We aren't trying to reinvent any wheels - there are thousands of really good orgs and services doing the work of helping veterans on a daily basis. We are doing what we can to bring them all together into a single portal, to make transition easier for veterans and their families.
