We believe that long term employment success is best achieved through building relationships with community employers so that we fully understand their organizations needs and values.”
| Noah McDade CWT Manager Tampa, FL US Army Veteran, Staff Sergeant |
“The CWT program uses vocational counselors instead of salespeople to help our candidates identify the right position and then take the necessary steps to achieve their goals. You’re already paying for our services. Why not get your money’s worth?”
| Kevin Fields CWT Manager Richmond, VA |
“Veterans, regardless of the time that they served, bring a unique set of skills to the workplace. They understand and live by LDRSHIP values: loyalty, dedication, respect, selfless-service honor, integrity and personal courage. Things like teamwork, flexibility and working with a variety of nationalities is second nature. Also, when you work with one of our Veterans you not only get a Veteran, but a CWT staff member as well.”

“First of all, a partner walks with you, through the good and the bad. A partner has your best interest at heart and a partner is willing to work hard toward a common goal. The CWT Program is all of that and more. We are committed to our Veteran and to employers who partner with our program to ensure a win-win for everyone involved. You don’t just get an employee…you get me, and the full support of the Department of Veterans Affairs…and trust me, there is nothing better that being a part of changing a person’s life for the better, and along the way, we too change and grow for the better…give us a try…you won’t be disappointed. This is a program that allows employers to observe, groom and mold their employee of choice without any strings. By their service, Veterans have already proven they are dedicated, can follow or lead, and will put it all on the line, if necessary. When can we start the process?”
| Carolyn Carpenter CWT Manager Alexandria, LA |
“Partnering with CWT gives you a double win. First, Veterans make excellent employees. Secondly, the CWT program provides an extra level of support, whenever needed, that other applicants do not have.”
