Google Aims to Place 25,000 Veterans in Skilled Trade Jobs

Google has launched an initiative to help 25,000 veterans and military family members build rewarding careers in skilled trades. This commitment is part of a broader effort by Google.org's AI Opportunity Fund for the United States.

The funding will go to organizations such as Hiring Our Heroes, Student Veterans of America (SVA), and Home Builders Institute (HBI) to provide hands-on pre-apprenticeships, career coaching, and direct job placements.

Google has a long history of supporting veterans and the skilled trades. The company has already joined forces with other organizations to launch the Alliance for America's Skilled Trades and supported the electrical training Alliance (etA) to put AI-powered learning tools on the trade floor.
