Workshops for Warriors

Workshops for Warriors is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in San Diego, California. The organization employs 32 people. Workshops for Warriors offers training programs and educational opportunities in welding and machining to veterans, transitioning service members, and other students. Their 16-week programs result in nationally recognized credentials from respected organizations like the American Welding Society, the National Institute for Metalworking Skills, Mastercam University, Solidworks, Immerse2Learn, and the National Coalition for Certification Centers. Recognizing the U.S. shortage of skilled labor in welding and fabrication, Workshops for Warriors aims to equip veterans with the skills needed to fill these jobs. Unlike many organizations, Workshops for Warriors receives no government funding and relies solely on private donations, with 87% of these donations directly supporting training programs, allowing them to offer training free of charge.
