Our signature program provides integrated certification and career-readiness training in partnership with local community colleges to prepare transitioning service members, veterans, National Guard, reservists and military spouses for rewarding careers in manufacturing.
Heroes MAKE America events include virtual information sessions and opportunities to build connections between the greater military community and manufacturers who are currently hiring.
