2025 Edge4Vets Workshop - Tucson

WELCOME to Edge4Vets!

Join us for our "Kick off" Workshop in Tucson on Monday, May 5 from 9:30am to 4pm, with complimentary lunch. (A networking session will follow.)

Hosted by Community Foundation for Southern Arizona at 5049 E Broadway Blvd #201, Tucson, AZ 85711.

The Edge4Vets workshop is made possible by Desert Thunder Squadron and a coalition of business, government and school partners committed to supporting the expansion of veteran employment in Tucson. The program is designed to support airmen and women who transition out of Davis Monthan AFB as well as help veterans in the region find career success.

Our Free in-person workshop helps you translate your military strengths into "tools" for civilian success, then we connect you to decision-makers at partner companies to explore opportunities for good jobs that can lead to great careers, whether you wish to work in Tucson or any community in the country.

You'll be able to use what you learn and the support you get in the pursuit of whatever job/career you choose.

REGISTER now to guarantee yourself a place! Spaces for this "kick off" workshop will be limited.

THREE WAYS Edge4Vets provides you with "in person" support:

1. At the workshop we'll introduce you to business leaders and HR reps (decision makers and executives from our partner companies) who will work with you in small-groups to identify your strengths from the military, including Values and Skills and help you frame out a career path. We'll teach you how to translate your military strengths as business mentors provide support and get you started on creating a personal PLAN4SUCCESS for an "edge" in the jobs marketplace.

2. Following the workshop we'll give you access to our Edge4Vets online course for those who wish to take their strengths-translation preparation from the workshop to the next level. Through a series of short videos and exercises, the online course will guide you at your own pace to refine your PLAN and put it into final form before you submit it to earn your Edge4Vets Certificate.

3. Also, we'll give workshop participants a list of the HR reps from our partner companies. You'll be able to contact them for help to MATCH your skills and interests from your personal PLAN to job opportunities at their companies - and line up interviews. Or you can use their guidance to open doors for employment in whatever city you choose.

Our goal is to put you on a pathway to success in civilian life - to give you the life you want!

REGISTER today and we'll send you full information and help you get prepared.

Dress is business casual. Lunch will be free, courtesy of our host and there will be a networking session to follow.
