VETS2INDUSTRY: Unlocking knowledge, connections, resources, opportunities and hope!

department-of-veteran-affairs March 28, 2023

Brian Arrington is a retired Air Force Veteran and founder of VETS2INDUSTRY. The non-profit organization supports and helps transitioning military personnel, Veterans and military spouses find meaningful and sustainable careers in the civilian workforce.

In Arrington’s last year of service to the U.S. Air Force, he learned there were over 45,000 plus Veteran Service Organizations nationwide that provided free services and support to U.S. military families. He realized that a huge gap existed between available, free resources and benefits and knowledge among our nation’s heroes and their families.

Air Force Veteran Brian Arrington founded VETS2INDUSTRY in 2019.

After Arrington founded VETS2INDUSTRY in 2019, its mission became clear: People First, Veterans and their families always!

VETS2INDUSTRY offers a range of free services supporting the service members’ transition to civilian careers:

Career coaching: providing one-on-one coaching sessions to help Veterans identify their strengths, skills and interests while exploring potential career paths.
Job search support that provides job search assistance, including access to job boards, career fairs and networking events.
Networking opportunities: hosting virtual networking events and webinars empowering Veterans to connect with employers and industry professionals in their fields of interest.

In addition to its services, VETS2INDUSTRY provides a range of free resources and services to help military families succeed in their civilian careers:

Access to a community of industry professionals and military-ready employers who can provide support and guidance.
Information on job openings, scholarship opportunities, career trends and industry news.
Training and professional development opportunities to help Veterans/families stay up to date on industry best practices and trends.
Resources for transitioning to civilian life, including financial planning, housing assistance and health care.
Opportunities to give back to the community by volunteering, mentoring or sharing skills and experience with others.
