Heroes Connect
In response to COVID-19 impacts, The Manufacturing Institute launched a virtual initiative to facilitate introductions between the greater military community and manufacturers that are hiring.
Military to Manufacturing
Initiated to replace in-person facility tours for Heroes MAKE America students, Heroes Connect: Military to Manufacturing has expanded to fill an even larger gap by directly connecting dislocated veterans and military spouses with diverse job opportunities across the country.
Virtually Connect with Immediate Career Opportunities
Heroes Connect directly introduces members of the military community with manufacturers who are actively seeking your skills. During these virtual sessions, you will learn more about the company, understand current career opportunities, and have open dialogue with company representatives. Sign up to learn more.
