Founded in 1970 by a former Army officer, we recognized long ago that the U.S. military is the finest employment training program in the world. It teaches determination, leadership, teamwork, focus, and an unmatched dedication to a greater goal. It’s a result-oriented organization, and these skills translate directly into corporate success.
