How We Help
Job Connections
Our first goal is to connect our veterans to our partners in the industry. It’s important to us to help make the right introductions, ensuring a lasting, mutually beneficial relationship between the owners and the veterans.
GI Bill Consultation
Once the connection is made, we work with the veterans and the business owners to sort of the complexities of the GI Bill to get the veterans to the chimney certification classes.
Certification Classes
This is one of the most importanat things we work for: getting our veterans their trade certification. We provide travel to and around Indiana, plus a per diem for meals.
Continued Support
After the veterans are certified, we continue to support them with all of the certifications they desire, helping to boost their industry knowledge.
