Armedforce2workforce

Armedforce2workforce is a California 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to assisting young veterans in their search for rewarding, career-oriented employment in Southern California following their separation from the United States military. At the center of the Af2wf concept is the recognition of two distinct but complementary truths: that young vets who have served their country in war deserve the best possible support as they return home to re-start their lives in the civilian world; and that the training, discipline, and dedication that recently separated service members have gained in their service to this country can be equally valuable to civilian employers of all kinds. For young vets who have recently served, the experience of being stopped in airports en route to or from deployments and thanked for their service was a common one. Ironically, many of those same young vets, having now completed their military service and returned home, too often find themselves vainly in need of that same sort of support as they look to convert their military training and experience into career-oriented employment in the civilian sphere. Af2wf aims to help fill that gap by providing personal assistance to young veterans and matching them with civilian employers and jobs that leverage the many ways, both specific and general, that will allow these fine young men and women to apply the skills and experience they gained in the military to add spirit and value to any organization.
