I came across a short article from Veterans Affairs about a training program for getting into manufacturing careers.
Main point: “The ATDM program (Accelerated Training in Defense Manufacturing) offers not just a solution, but a promising path forward in the transition to civilian life.”
More about it:
- “…provides training in high-demand skills that lead to well-paying jobs with military suppliers.”
- “…In just four months, students are prepped for roles in the defense industrial base, much faster than other two-year programs.”
- “Along with training, students receive job placement assistance.”
The good stuff: Housing is provided so you can live in the vicinity of the classes.
