Here’s Just One Way to Thank a Veteran

Have you heard of Workshops for Warriors? The concept of this nonprofit organization based out of San Diego, California, is that veterans could provide an answer to manufacturing’s need for skilled employees. According to the organization, there is a severe shortage of skilled labor in the welding and fabricating industries and veterans are a perfect fit for these jobs. That’s why it provides machining and welding training to recently discharged veterans and Wounded Warriors.

MMS Editor Pete Zelinski had the privilege of visiting the facility a little more than a year ago and was impressed by what he found. Training is provided at no cost to veterans, and the organization boasts a 100 percent job placement rate for graduates. This Veterans Day, learn why this organization deserves your attention and support.
