Career Training and Job Placement
For many, it is difficult to transition back into everyday life after injury- especially for those with permanent scars and disabilities. We empower these soldiers through career counseling and guide them through the job hunting process to provide them with all the tools necessary to succeed. Through our partnerships with experts in various fields, we offer mentors to our wounded soldiers in the job force.
We also provide unique opportunities such as certification for surf instructors and dog trainers once our soldiers go through those programs. These opportunities allow for increased confidence, a sense of purpose and even a career.
-
Empowerment Through Education
We provide laptops and offer grants for college and university programs to ensure that wounded soldiers are able to build the foundation necessary to achieve their career and life’s goals. A college education which leads to a career of their choice, gives the soldiers a sense of purpose and a way to provide for themselves and their families.
