- Tech For Troops is a donation-based organization that provides veterans with equipment and empowers them with skills, and IT workforce training by providing veterans and children of veterans with free, refurbished computers and training and networking experiences.
- For Mark, success for transitioning military folks is being able to support themselves and their families without falling into or becoming impoverished. To achieve that, you have to prepare yourself a year plus before you end your time in the service by learning and getting the required skills for a specific career.
- In the transitioning process, search for an internship or apprenticeship on SkillBridge to help you get a good job when you finish your military service.
- Having a computer is essential to apply for a job today. So Mark and his team provide free computers to veterans, which they can take home and learn to use. Tech For Troops also helps veterans with computer training skills.
- Tech For Troops training starts with basic computer literacy skills. Then comes the intermediate level, which includes financial management and Microsoft tools. The last one is the advanced or expert level, where you can learn Python coding, for example.
- Besides computer training, Mark and Tech For Troops help veterans with resumes and advisory and mentoring programs.
