Heroes MAKE America: Creating Pipelines of Talent
The Creators Wanted Fund supports The Manufacturing Institute’s sustained workforce programs for veterans, women, underrepresented communities, emerging workers and youth. Central to the MI’s veterans pillar is Heroes MAKE America, which provides integrated certification and career-readiness training in partnership with local community colleges to prepare transitioning service members, veterans, National Guard, reservists and military spouses for rewarding careers in manufacturing.
Recently, Working Nation brought together Babs Chase, Vice President of Military and Veterans Programs, The Manufacturing Institute, and Carol Eggert, Senior Vice President, Military and Veterans, Comcast NBCUniversal, to talk Heroes MAKE America and on the role veterans play in the civilian workforce.
