WILDWOOD, FLORIDA

That's what we're here for. To provide the support and resources our combat veterans need to get through the invisible wounds of war, and to thrive and achieve the civilian lifestyle they deserve. Learn how you can help today: Combat Veterans to Careers (CVC) was founded in The Villages in May 2012 with the commitment to serve our nation’s combat veterans and their families. Since our inception, we’ve assisted more than 955 veteran families in the area of education, employment, housing and wellness. CVC has partnered with local residents, clubs, businesses, colleges and VA offices to bring combat veterans and their families “home” to a community that embraces them and provides education, understanding and meaningful employment to minimize hardships. In addition to counseling, housing, career and educational opportunities, we provide veterans with opportunities to deliver services beyond themselves. This is essential to successfully reconnecting with others in the community, and is a large part of why many veterans were led to serve their country in the first place. Accessing care and benefits through the VA, utilizing earned education benefits, training for civilian careers, securing affordable housing and developing a quality resume package are just a few of the ways we continue to help our veterans transition back into civilian life. , we are able to provide our veterans and their families with 360 degrees of support and well-being. CVC has partnered with local colleges to help veterans continue their education towards obtaining the skills needed for a successful career. Many veterans transitioning out of the military are having difficulties juggling school while finding employment to take care of their families, resulting in the veterans dropping out of school or putting their education on hold. With our partnership with the local college communities, we are assisting veterans and their families so that they can continue their education while working in the career field they are going to college for. Many local businesses are on board with our program and are offering positions within their companies. The ability to obtain a rewarding career is the main objective for many of our veterans. Many are struggling to find employment, continue with their education, deal with their health issues and still provide for families. Additionally, through the support of The Villages, as well as community government, and local businesses, CVC is able to offer employment opportunities for veteran spouses, a highly rated charter school system for their children and quality and affordable housing for their entire families. Given these benefits, our veterans are able to focus on their education and career development while continuing to provide families support. It can be extremely difficult to find suitable housing within the means of our veterans’ long-term financial plans. CVC utilizes professional network resources to assist in that process. We’ve helped homeless veteran families secure permanent housing, including one who gained the ability to purchase his own home. This financial stability, achieved through the direct financial support and management training provided by CVC, is instrumental to our veterans’ success.
