Military Veterans
UBC MiLITARY Veterans PROGRAM
With UBC Military Veterans Program (MVP), you choose your career path as a Millwright / Industrial Mechanic, Pile Driver, or Carpenter, and then complete a free 8-week program specifically designed for veterans. In addition, you’ll earn while you learn. No experience is needed although your MOS may have already prepared you for this innovative, hands-on training.
Transitioning from military service to civilian life can be a daunting challenge for many veterans. The skills they honed in the service, while valuable, don’t always translate directly into civilian careers, leaving some feeling uncertain about their future. A unique program is helping veterans bridge that gap, providing a clear path to a stable and rewarding career.
The Military Veterans Program (MVP), a free eight-week course offered in collaboration with United Brotherhood of Carpenters and the Southern District Training Trust Fund, provides transitioning and recently discharged veterans a jumpstart to a new career. The program introduces participants to the fundamentals of carpentry and millwrighting, and serves as a direct entry point into an apprenticeship program. Graduates gain the skills needed to get to work immediately, start earning a good wage, and continue building their expertise as they progress toward becoming journeymen.
