At Forged by Valor, our mission goes beyond education. It's a commitment forged in gratitude for the service and sacrifice of our Veterans, and a deep respect for the skills and strengths they bring back from their military experience. We were driven by a clear vision: to bridge the gap between the unique experiences of military service and the demands of the civilian workforce.

Our story began with the realization that many Veterans face challenges transitioning to civilian careers. They possess invaluable skills in leadership, teamwork, discipline, and problem-solving – assets highly sought after in the civilian world. Yet, translating those skills and experiences into tangible career paths can be difficult. We saw a need for a comprehensive training program, specifically designed to equip Veterans with the additional knowledge and certifications needed to thrive in rewarding civilian careers.

From the outset, we knew collaboration was key. We engaged in extensive research and discussions with industry experts, Veterans' organizations, and educators. This collaborative approach ensured our program curriculum would be relevant, practical, and aligned with current industry demands.

The curriculum itself is a testament to this collaborative spirit. It focuses on real-world skills and knowledge, incorporating feedback from Veterans themselves. We understand that Veterans learn best through hands-on experience, so we prioritize practical training alongside theoretical knowledge.

• Industry Partnerships: Our industry partners provide valuable insights into current job market needs and trends. This ensures our program curriculum equips Veterans with the skills and certifications employers seek.
• Veteran Support Organizations: Our partnerships with Veteran support organizations allow us to connect students with additional resources and support services tailored to their specific needs. This holistic approach fosters a supportive environment that sets our students up for success.

We believe in transparency throughout this process. We are dedicated to building a program worthy of the Veterans we serve. By outlining our timeline, the reasons behind Forged by Valor creation, and our core values, we hope you'll join us on this journey of empowering Veterans to forge their future success.

Together, we can bridge the gap and ensure that the skills and dedication honed through military service translate into fulfilling civilian careers.
