Vets2PM trains military service members, veterans, and spouses to become certified project managers and connects them with employers seeking skilled talent. Founded in 2015 as an SBA-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, the company has helped over 18,000 service members transition to civilian employment through a structured four-step process: recruit military personnel into cohorts, fund students via military and government programs, train them for industry-recognized credentials, and place graduates into corporate roles.
The training portfolio covers core project management certifications including PMP (Project Management Professional), CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management), PMI-ACP (Agile Certified Practitioner), and Scrum certifications. Students receive lifetime access to course materials and free job placement support after completing their programs. The company operates through partnerships with over 1,000 employers across corporate America, creating a direct pipeline from military experience to civilian project management roles.
Vets2PM's operational model addresses workforce development by leveraging existing military and government funding mechanisms to finance training, then matching certified graduates with hiring companies. The approach positions project management skills as a natural extension of military experience while providing structured credential pathways that translate across industries. Led by CEO Eric "Doc" Wright, PhD, the company frames its work as strengthening both corporate talent pipelines and national security workforce capabilities through systematic upskilling and reskilling of military-connected populations.
