Jobs for the Future was mentioned in a press release issued by the Manufacturing Institute (MI)—the workforce development and education partner of the National Association of Manufacturers—announcing a new initiative to help military personnel transition to civilian jobs in manufacturing.

Walmart is providing a $785,000 grant to support the project, and JFF and Solutions for Information Design will partner with the MI to develop training programs to help veterans build in-demand skills and allow employers to streamline their recruiting, hiring, and training programs based on abilities that veterans already possess.
