EDGE4VETS

In 2011, we introduced a workshop series (Resiliency) Edge4Vets, for a small group of vets at Fordham University. The workshops teach vets how to translate their strengths from the military into tools for civilian success. We started in NY with a group of Fordham vets and how have expanded to include vets throughout NYC. I'm pleased that many vets who've taking the workshops get jobs, as high as eight out of ten as our follow up surveys show. We continue to expand in NY, including offering a partnership now with City University of NY' to source the 3000 vets from CUNY's 24 schools into Edge4Vets... With the leadership of Mike Dunford, formerly global head of Human Resources for Covidien (now Medtronic) in MA, we've expanded Edge4Vets into a Massachusetts state-wide program in partnership with more than a dozen companies. UMASS Lowell, Boston University, Suffolk University, and other universities participate on the schools side, along with the state's 15 community colleges... I could..
