Veterans receive the highest quality training

the world has to offer because the U.S. government

allocates a significant percentage of our national

treasure in the strategic advantage of maintaining a

highly skilled armed force. In fact, for highly

specialized military jobs, known as Military

Occupations Specialties, or MOS, the Department of

Defense spends upwards of $250,000 per Soldier

for his/her initial education and technical training.
 

Given the significant material investment that we as

taxpayers make in our nation’s sons and daughters,

and the subsequent education and training they

receive, why are Veterans returning home to the

economic barriers of unemployment and

underemployment? The reasons are multifaceted,

yet there is a general consensus that we as a nation

must make a concerted effort to reintegrate our

Veterans into the civilian world. Better serving our

Veterans is not merely the patriotic course of

action, it is the prudent course of

action by virtue of Veterans’ varying technical skills and extensive leadership experience.

​

Our Solution

In order to address the issue of Veteran

unemployment and underemployment, Leave No

Veteran Behind decided to leverage the one thing

that has made our nation great; entrepreneurism.

It was decided that our agency would take on fee for

service contracts that directly provide our Veteran

clients transitional jobs. By taking on these

contracts, Leave No Veteran Behind leverages the

military and civilian business experience of our

administrative team to create a bridge for Veterans

with barriers to employment that are generally

misunderstood by the civilian job market. Not only

does this methodology provide Veterans needed

experience, on the job training with referral services

for their specific needs, it also provides income so

that they can move themselves and their families

into sustainable financial conditions.
