The Heroes Center
VTEC provides no-cost training for soldiers, veterans, and families, ensuring every graduate transitions into a meaningful career. By partnering directly with companies, VTEC trains soldiers in the exact skills employers need, creating a dependable workforce and guaranteeing jobs after service. Too many service members leave the military without clear career paths, facing unemployment or jobs that don’t match their abilities.
Through the 100forHeroes campaign, we are raising $100 million to transform Fort Gillem Army Base into the first national Hero Campus, preparing service members for high-demand careers while supplying companies with the talent they need.

Honoring fallen heroes by empowering their families. The Legacy Pathways Program provides no-cost training and career support to the immediate family members of fallen soldiers—including spouses, young children, and teenagers. This initiative ensures every member of the family has access to education, skills, and career opportunities that build lasting legacies and strengthen their future in honor of their loved one’s sacrifice.

Future Warriors
The Future Warriors Program introduces children and young adults of all ages to the advanced, technology-driven training offered by VTEC.

Beyond technology, the program empowers youth to build confidence, discipline, and teamwork through sports, mentorship, and positive community engagement, helping them get on their feet and prepare for a successful future.

Young Adult Internship Initiatives
The Young Adult Internship Initiatives connect youth with honorable, highly trained soldiers who are transitioning into civilian careers. By learning directly from these mentors—who embody discipline, leadership, and professionalism—young adults gain firsthand exposure to real career paths and workplace skills. Participants observe, assist, and learn from soldiers who have completed or are nearing completion of their VTEC training, helping them explore technical trades, energy solutions, and advanced technology careers. This experience empowers young adults to make informed decisions about their futures while building confidence, responsibility, and a strong sense of purpose.
