I recently joined the Merivis Group to network with other veterans and also work on my own Salesforce skills.  The thing that really struck me about this organization is how they are providing practical help to vets transitioning into the civilian world.  Veterans have the intangibles that you want from employees.  Hard work ethic, service minded, driven, ingenuity, and many others, but depending on their MOS (Mission Occupation Specialty) they may not have translatable skills in the civilian world. 

I was a 31K - Combat Signaler and served in a Field Artillery Unit.  There isn't a big need to run wire from M-109 Howitzers to FDCs (Fire Direction Control) or maintain SINCGARS or PRC-77 Radios in the normal world.  Merivis helps put Veterans and Veteran spouses on a path to a stable career in one of the biggest growth areas in technology, Salesforce. 

If you truly want to make a difference for veterans, support this group who helps them succeed at the next phase of their lives.  When I was in the Army I watched fellow service members, whether we were just training at Fort Hood or when we were deloyed to Kuwait, miss out on Birthdays of kids, spouses, and friends, Anniversaries, Funerals, Birth of their first child, Graduations, Holiday gatherings, etc.  They sacrificed so much of their lives for you, I'm just asking a for a little monetary sacrifice from you for them.

Merivis supports veterans preparing for their next missions through training, mentorship and job readiness for Salesforce cloud technology positions.  With a growing need for Salesforce certified professionals and an increasing number of underemployed veterans in the country, we bridge the gap to help veterans transition to civilian life and find great careers. Since we started in 2015, Merivis has impacted the lives of nearly 300 military veterans by supporting them in their transition to civilian careers. Through our technology training programs, we've put them on the path to growing, in-demand technology roles and we couldn't have done it without every member of the Merivis community.

Your generous contribution in honor of Veterans Day allows us to continue to offer our workforce development programs and help connect our country's service men and women to technology careers.

Donate to one of our graduates below - each of them has committed to raise funds for Merivis as a way to pay it forward and help more veterans and milspouses successfully transition after service. Many of them are first time fundraisers and your generous support will help them reach their goal.
