“I’m very appreciative for what your organization does, I found your partnership with Drone Aviate to be a fruitful one and was glad to be able to participate in the training.”

“I would like to thank you for all the help with finding gainful employment. You came at just the right time.”

“My experience with Work for Warriors has been fantastic. The support and assistance that your group has given me in finding gainful employment has been very positive. I especially appreciate the fact that your people not only email out job opportunities but also connect directly with hiring managers to put in a good word for veterans who have applied for specific jobs. I think that proactiveness is the key to your organization’s effectiveness. Thank you to you and your organization. I can’t recommend you guys highly enough, and I will let other veterans know of your services. Thank you again.”

“My experience with Work for Warriors has always been a pleasant one. During times where I am desperate in need of a job , this program helped me achieved that goal . I would recommend this program to any veteran, they help with job positions, and help in every step.”

“The GAF Roofing Academy was fantastic! I really feel like I have the basic knowledge to get a 1st job. They put us into teams of 2, and we tore down and built a side of roofing. They also introduced us to techniques on roofing valleys as well as encountering walls, chimneys & other objects. I would highly recommend it!”

“Chuck (Charles Callahan) spoke at my Cal tap class at Miramar last year in 2023. He communicated every concern that I had in my transition from active duty to civilian life. Chuck described the path to employment clearly, practically and in in a manner that was easy to understand. Although it was rough, one year later, I am proud to say that I am a government contractor with Zeiders Enterprises. I am a Work and Family Life Consultant for Fleet and Family Support Center on Naval Base San Diego. Work for Warriors is an excellent organization and I can recommend it to every service member–active duty, transitioning or veteran. Thanks again, Chuck, for all your help!”

“I want to thank Work For Warriors (WFW) for the opportunity and career I now have in the Aerospace Industry! In 2017, WFW assisted me in finding a fast job while I continued looking for something in the Tech Sector. 9 months later, WFW helped me get into an Entry Level Tech role and then 9 months later, in 2018 WFW submitted my resume to an Aerospace Industry leader, I interviewed and was hired as Clean Room Tech II (effectively a janitor) at $27 per hour. After 6 months my work ethic and ability to adapt and learn was noticed by another section and I was transferred and promoted to a Flight Tech II position at $33 per hour. This new role gave me the opportunity to build flight hardware and ground support equipment. I worked hard and worked on a few projects as a Flight Tech and by May 2021 I was promoted to Electrical Mechanical Technician III at $39 per hour. On May 2022, I was asked to apply for another position as a System Safety Technician III which I took. That job came with $4.00 raise and now I’m making $43.00 per hour.

WFW gave me the opportunity and I my experience and discipline from the military helped me surpass everyone’s expectations. In less than 4 years I have climbed the ladder dramatically. For me, that’s a short timeline that I never anticipated but hard work, sacrifice, and a little networking goes a long way. Thanks again WFW for all you do!”

“From June 2022 until January 2024 Greg has been a great mentor throughout my hiring process with the USMS. The process is a long and tedious one which made me feel lacking in confidence during many occasions, however, Greg was always a text or a phone call away and he was always able to give me some positive insight which kept me motivated and excited for the possible opportunity. When I finally received my Final Offer Letter on January 20th, 2024, Greg was one of the first individuals I talked about this because of how much his mentorship has helped me through this process. I highly recommend Greg to anyone who is in need of mentoring for employment in any field because of his genuine personality in helping others get to where they want to be and achieve their professional goals.”

“My experience with Work for Warriors from the beginning has been very helpful and informative. It has been a great experience overall and I have told so many others about the program as well. Many veteran friends and current guard members didn’t know about WFW and are surprised to hear all it offers. The resume help and job search help have been amazing and I’m so glad that I got connected with the program! Responses are always timely and Kait was always checking in on me and asking if I needed anything. Additionally, she provided me with beneficial certification information. I also never knew about the veteran’s transition program until I started receiving the monthly emails for WFW and I was able to get my LEAN and Six Sigma certification which was awesome! Can’t thank you all and Kait enough.”

The Work for Warriors team is a true asset. As an unemployed Veteran, I have had moments of regret, anxiety, tears and even shame. In a matter of 2 weeks, I have gone from unemployed to employed!😀

Thank You, IMMENSELY!

“I would love to give my feedback and personally like to thank you all for all your help in the transition to my employment, I couldn’t have done it without you guys. I recently came back from a deployment a couple of months ago searching for work and was applying everywhere when Rivera reached out to put in a good word and gave me guidance to sharpen my resume a little bit which helped out a lot. Secondly, I would like to thank Mr. Oliver for following up with me during the process and to be honest if it was not for Damon reaching out I would have missed my window of opportunity. Damon followed up with me by creating a 3 way call with the Counterdrug Task Force because I didn’t receive any email traffic shortly after applying. Apparently, I was given an email with the offer of employment but they sent the email to my .mil which at the time the ARMY 365 was going through a transition period and ultimately I didn’t have access. In the email it states that I had a 72 hour time frame to respond otherwise I would not be considered for the position. If it was not for Damon reaching out to me on that call I would have found out weeks or months later that I missed that opportunity. With that information given I requested for them to send it to my civilian email which led to my employment. Again, I want to give my greatest appreciation to everything you guys do and have already spread the word that you guys helped me greatly with my journey of seeking employment. “

“I want to extend my sincere appreciation for your organization and the assistance we received related to a recent hire in our office referred to us by Mr. Martin Rivera.

We were in need of a qualified analyst for a role in our intake and analysis unit within the Office of Law Enforcement Support (OLES). OLES is the police oversight and investigations office for the California Health and Human Services Agency. Mr. Rivera came through with an excellent candidate that has exceeded our expectations in her new role and is now a welcome addition to our team.

As a matter of practice, any future openings of any kind within OLES will be shared with Mr. Rivera and the Work for Warriors organization.

I am also thankful for the larger benefits of your organization in the care of our Nations veterans.”
