What We Do
Provide exceptionally qualified workers to business and industry after an intensive 5-month paid vocational on the job training program.
Partner with local businesses to teach disabled veterans a valuable skill and trade; along with other business and industrial skills in order to prepare the veteran for his or her re-entry into the work force.
The goal of Vetmade Industries is not soley to teach veterans technical skills, rather to prepare them for long-term careers.
Currently, Vetmade is operating a woodworking shop in Tampa Florida; proceeds from the sale of our hand-made items goes back to the veterans in the form of wages and training; as well as ensuring we can continue to provide services to the disabled veterans in the Tampa area.
Our woodworking shop is only the first type of training venue, we are constantly looking for other partners in any vocation.
Our ultimate goal is to export the Vetmade model Nation-wide; making it the model for disabled veteran support.
How We Do It
Borrowing from the U.S. Navy, we have adopted a colored "hat" system. Aboard an aircraft carrier, each member of the flight deck has a specific job and wears a colored shirt hat representing it. From the bridge, the captain can look down and instantly determine who is who.
Vetmade has adopted this same type of identification system. Each Vetmade worker/student wears a colored hat which indicates where he or she is within the 5-month training continuum.
Within each month, we have identified specific goals. To reach these goals, we will rely upon assistance from outside organizations to assist in the training.
Throughout the five-months, however, the veteran is working, getting paid and moving forward.
VETMADE TEAM!
