Employers
Define workforce demand, shape training pathways, offer employment opportunities, and create room for advancement.
Partners
A stronger pathway needs strong partners.
Employers, training providers, housing organizations, social workers, municipalities, and funders each bring a capability the participant should not have to find alone.
Partnership ecosystem
Each partner has a defined role.
The Veteran Anthem coordinates those roles around participant progress and measurable outcomes.
Training Providers
Deliver technical skills, certifications, credentials, and job readiness tied to real opportunities.
Housing Partners
Create housing opportunities that support training completion, employment retention, and family stability.
Social Workers
Provide individualized assessment and navigation across wellness, benefits, family, and community resources.
Municipalities
Open doors to public resources, local networks, community engagement, and trusted veteran touchpoints.
Funders
Support pathway design, measurement, infrastructure, pilot execution, learning, and replication readiness.
Workforce development
Start with a job that actually exists.
The first skilled-trade pathway is being built around employer demand in the elevator industry. The model can later expand into other trades where military experience translates well into civilian careers.
Workforce sequence
A direct path from training to employment.
The workforce model begins with demand rather than training people for jobs that may not be waiting at the end.

Employer demand
Identify real workforce needs and the roles employers are prepared to fill.
02
Training
Build the skills required for those roles with qualified training partners.
03
Certification
Help participants earn the credentials needed to move forward.
04
Employment
Connect successful participants to jobs, wages, and a defined career path.
05
Stability and support
Coordinate housing and individualized support that help participants remain successful.
06
Advancement
Track retention, wage growth, additional credentials, and career progress.
What makes a strong partnership
What makes a partnership work.
Partnerships should reduce friction for participants and improve the performance of the pathway.
Clear role
Everyone understands what the partner provides and where responsibility begins and ends.
Warm handoff
Participants move between organizations with context instead of being handed another phone number.
Measurable value
The partnership is evaluated by participant progress, not by the number of logos on a page.
