Skilled Trades Academy - Employment skills training
Hiring Our Heroes is launching the HOH Skilled Trades Academy, a hands-on, skills-based pilot program. The inaugural cohort will be hosted in Jacksonville, North Carolina, just outside the gates of Camp Lejeune. This six-week, in-person training initiative—powered by Lowe’s Foundation—will equip transitioning service members, veterans, and military and veteran spouses with foundational skills in carpentry, plumbing, electrical, and masonry. Designed as a direct pathway to in-demand careers, the program also introduces participants to small business ownership and provides professional development and networking opportunities. This is not just training—it’s an intentional bridge to meaningful employment, economic mobility, and long-term opportunity in the skilled trades.
Designed as a direct pathway to in-demand careers, the program also introduces participants to small business ownership and provides professional development and networking opportunities. The goal is to provide you with a valuable experience that will lead to full-time employment with employers hiring like Lowe's Pro and others networked in the area and small business ownership.
Transitioning service members must have command approval. Open to veterans and military spouses too.
