At Vets RISE we are dedicated to accelerating the career transitions of veterans, transitioning service members, and their spouses into meaningful civilian careers across a wide range of high-demand support roles. Funded by the Department of Veterans Affairs' Veteran and Spouse Transitional Assistance Grant Program (VSTAGP), our program addresses the urgent need for veteran and military spouse employment. Our program is built to help individuals transition into dynamic sectors such as biotech, life sciences, and climate tech support, where they can apply their valuable skills to support industries that are rapidly growing and in need of talent.
