Helmets to Hardhats: Building Civilian Careers for Military Members

Finding stable employment can be a difficult proposition for many military service members upon their return to civilian life. Helmets to Hardhats-a national, nonprofit program-connects transitioning active-duty military service members, veterans, National Guard and Reservists with skilled training and quality career opportunities in the construction industry. The program is designed to help military service members successfully transition back into civilian life by offering them the means to secure a quality career in the construction industry.
Christopher DiMeo, Director of Programs at the NJ State Building & Construction Trades Council, joins us for this Community Conversation that will explain how Helmets to Hardhats can set military personnel and their families on the path to success. Personal testimony will also be heard from a former program participant who is now studying to become a social worker.
