There are over 250,000 open positions in the construction industry, creating an opportunity for veterans.

• 9.1% of all U.S. businesses are veteran-owned, and 11.4% of construction businesses are veteran-owned

• Construction is one the top transferable skills for veterans

Career Transition

The training center is committed to helping returning veterans find a rewarding career. Applicants will receive assistance in finding jobs that are best suited for them based on their aptitude and interests, as well as skills gained during prior military service.

• Hospitality Management

Rebuilding the hospitality industry after 2020 will be more critical than ever in Florida, and throughout the U.S.

Training for the hospitality industry is diverse. Necessary skills include communication and ways to interact with the hotel guests. Hospitality management roles require strong teamwork and leadership skills, which veterans attain during their service.

• Information Technology

The number of job openings in data science and IT is huge and shows no sign of slowing.

Employment of computer and information technology occupations is projected to grow 11% from 2019 to 2029, much faster than the average for all occupations. These occupations are projected to add about 531,200 new jobs, with companies looking to fill their ranks with specialists in cloud computing, collating and management of business information, and cybersecurity (US Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2020).

• Healthcare Management

The healthcare industry covers many professions and is one of the most popular career paths for veterans. Examples of job roles within healthcare include hospital operations, nursing, research, or administration. Regardless of their previous career specialization, there is an opportunity for veterans to apply their skills within the healthcare industry upon leaving the military.

National Visitor Center

Our Pensacola-based museum and monument will also serve as a Veteran Welcome and Information Center. We will provide resources from local entities, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and State and Federal Veteran support services.

• Resources For Veterans

The goal of the visitor center is to give all veterans the assistance they need to access their benefits and critical resources such as healthcare, career, housing, and financial support. We will work one-on-one with veterans to evaluate their unique needs, source necessary documents, and set them up for a successful transition back to civilian life.
