Fleet to Force designs, implements, and manages Training & Employment Programs that target military veterans, while facilitating employers' access to public sector resources. Each program targets a different area of the military population, is designed to address specific skills gaps, and utilize different forms of outside funding, but all are aligned to the same goal: supporting the transition from military to civilian life, through economic prosperity.
