How We Serve
How We Serve
VIRTUAL INDUSTRY EVENTS
Career-focused panels and networking for Veterans in Tech, Cybersecurity, Real Estate, and more, welcoming thousands of attendees and hundreds of hiring organizations over the past three years.
TRANSITION CIRCLES
Structured small-group sessions designed to help veterans and military spouses transition into civilian careers or small businesses, and led by recruiters, nonprofit leaders, and Subject Matter Experts.
MENTOR CONNECT
Curated virtual mentorship gatherings that facilitate meaningful connections between Veterans and seasoned professionals. Attendees spend an average 1h 23m 47s in a Mentor Connect event.
VETERANS, FISHING & CIGARS
Mentorship on the open seas. We match transitioning service members and active-duty personnel with company executives on all-expenses-paid fishing charters in Tampa and South Florida.
VETERANS, GUNS & CIGARS
The only event where networking requires a steady aim. We bring together military veterans, SOF operators, law enforcement, and industry leaders for a unique blend of networking and marksmanship competition.
READY, AIM, EMPOWER
Supported by the NRA Foundation, we provide military spouses with the education, training, and confidence to safely and effectively participate in the shooting sports. This program fills an important gap by welcoming a group often present but rarely included in firearms training, military spouses.
