Workshops for Warriors is rebuilding American advanced manufacturing, one veteran at a time. I've had the privilege to serve on their Board of Advisors since 2015. It's been an amazing way to "do something good", and to say thank you to the men and women that sacrifice so much by serving in our military and protecting our freedom!
When you take the tour of the facility (highly recommended), you immediately are drawn in to the energy and passion of the students, the staff, and especially the teachers. You hear first hand from the students how the skills and certifications they are learning are positively impacting their lives - giving them hope and a bright future for them and their families. Workshops for Warriors is building futures for our veterans!
I hear from graduates like Pablo, who landed a great job in Texas as a Design Engineer as a result of the SOLIDWORKS and MasterCAM skills he learned at Workshops for Warriors - earning well above the living wage in the area. I stay in touch with Dylan, a graduate who took his CAD-CAM skills to NJ, and he's now a CNC Programmer with a bright future for his family.
It's a story that is so easy to share with people - I tell it to as many people as I can; and they often ask "How can I get involved, too?" I can honestly say I've gotten so much happiness out of my involvement with Workshops for Warriors, I'm truly blessed to have found them.
