Forty-six veterans graduate from Workshops for Warriors

Workshops for Warriors, a nonprofit school assisting veterans who are transitioning into civilian life through advanced manufacturing training, certification, and job placement, held its spring graduation at its educational facility in San Diego last month.

The 46 graduates now are prepared to integrate immediately into large and small manufacturing organizations throughout the U.S. Two graduates—Ryan San Vincente and Erik Davies—were acknowledged for achieving 14 certificates during the semester.

“We’re extremely proud of these men and women not for only what they did to serve our country, but for having the passion, drive, and dedication to move forward and obtain the education needed to pursue a new career in the manufacturing space,” said Hernàn Luis y Prado, founder of Workshops for Warriors.

Each semester runs 16 weeks and offers students credentials from top industry organizations such as the National Institute for Metalworking Skills, Mastercam University (computer-aided manufacturing), SolidWorks (computer-aided design), and the American Welding Society.
