Training Services

The plight of most enlisted and/or drafted persons is the problem of successful civilian employment post military service. This is the same type of problem that the least paid and minimum wage earners experience. This problem is mainly due to most of these individuals lack marketable skills, resources to continue their formal education that teaches them marketable skills, or they have no direction in life. As a result, many people learn skills that have little or no value in today’s economy.

Thus, All of Us and Me works to transform workforce development programs to understand that people with prior military experience can under the proper training and circumstances become the ideal employee because they have a proven history of the following soft skills:

Ability to work in a team environment,
Ability to learn a new skill in short order,
Attention to detail,
Can be trained to be a leader,
Able to overcome a challenge.

A military veteran especially one who has been in a warzone and frontline veteran warriors did not acquire any hard skills that are easily transferrable to civilian service. Yet, these frontline veterans have soft skills that most business managers are searching for in new hires. Therefore, we have conversations with trainers so that they are aware of some skills that frontline warriors have that non‐veteran workforce development trainers are not fully aware that these veterans have. Thus, we help workforce development program managers to become stakeholders in assisting veterans in obtaining more skills that will eventually help the veteran to integrate successfully into the civilian under the following transition situations:

Military to Civilian
Incarcerated to Civilian
Teen to Adult
Corporate to Consultant

Helping employment trainers and hiring managers to see the desirable soft skills that all veterans are taught in the military that are marketable in civilian society is one of the major undertakings that this non‐profit seeks to successfully accomplish.

Additionally, the chronic under employed and chronic unemployed suffer from a myriad of factors chief of which are possession of weak or poorly formed soft skills. Several reasons for undesirable employment outcomes are an aversion to be present for employment on a timely and/or consistent fashion, hinderance to work productivity caused by undesirable reactions to personal life crises, and not learning better and more profitable employment skills that earn higher salaries.

By integrating both the chronically under and unemployed with military personnell who are just entering the civilian job market, a symbiotic relationship where each enrollee in a workforce development and training program assist each other in their mutual goals of obtaining more marketable skills is nurtured.

All of Us and Me and their workforce development and training program stakeholders believe that this country, as a part of the national security, must teach people that there is a great need for people in manufacturing, automotive manufacture, research and development support services, green and conservation technologies, and logistics.

As we proceed to a post pandemic environment, there is a need in logistics most of all. There is a need for longshoremen, short shoremen, truck drivers, automotive mechanics, and logistics managers.

The Infrastructure and Reinvestment Act, signed into law by President Biden, in 2021, provides for the largest investment in infrastructure rehabilitation and reconstruction in the history of this country. Yet, what is the use of spending this money if the population of this country is not trained to avail themselves of higher paying employment opportunities?

There is a great need for workforce development and training programs in Internet infrastructure development, integrated circuit, and central processing unit development and manufacturing. As automobiles and trucks become more computer‐controlled, there is a great need for automotive mechanics who understand embedded computer programming. Otherwise, automobiles may become as expensive to own as large planting and harvesting combines on farms. These combines cost about one quarter of a million dollars annually in maintenance fees to maintain their computer controllers.

Large commercial and government enterprises deactivate extremely large numbers of computers each year because of the tax laws in this country. There is a great need for technicians to refurbish these devices, scrub clean commercial and government data from the hard drives and redistribute these devices to the vast number of Americans who cannot afford nor operate computers for basic connectivity to goods and services in their community. This is a simple and low‐tech solution to developing green technology in this country.
