The Blackfox Advanced Manufacturing Program for Military Veterans

Blackfox Training Institute, as an approved technical training center for eligible veterans, launched a new training program in 2013. The “Blackfox Veteran’s Training Program” is the first program of its kind to provide veterans with little to no industry experience with the skills to grow their careers in the electronic assembly industry. Upon completion of the course, veterans can qualify for employment in aerospace, defense, medical, and all facets of electronic manufacturing.
Blackfox Training Institute prepares military veterans for employment. Approved under the provisions of “Title 38, United States Code” and recognition by the State of Colorado as an approved private occupational school; which qualifies Blackfox as a training center for eligible veterans wanting to use their GI Bill for educational benefits.
This program has primarily funded through State and Federal training grants. There is no cost to the veteran. There is no cost to the employer whatsoever. As a matter of fact, we have not had any veterans in this program tap into their post-9/11 GI Bill benefits. It's all been funded through State and Federal grants so far. What is amazing is how many employers aren't aware of this

From first hand experience, I have seen the dedication to mission, unwavering focus, drive, initiative, motivation, and standards of excellence that many veterans practice.

The national unemployment rate for everyone is 7.8 percent , in contrast to the alarmingly high rate of 10 percent that is just including veterans ( Moore). Although people say they appreciate our veterans for the service that they have done people are reluctant to hire veterans.

This is unacceptable as many officials have said throughout the Army.
