Buildstrong Academy Phoenix

Starting Monday! Phoenix!

Serving Those Who Served!

We are excited to announce we are joining forces with U.S.VETS-Phoenix, launching joint carpentry and electrical cohorts at the BuildStrong Academy Phoenix! The first carpentry cohort starts this coming Monday March 9th and electrical starts March 16th.

With our missions so well aligned, this is a necessary and timely opportunity for HBI and U.S.VETS to partner in providing tuition-free trades training and job placement assistance to Phoenix's veteran population.

U.S.VETS Phoenix provides housing and supportive services to help veterans in need regain a sense of purpose and dignity, including mental health and wellness programs, employment assistance and ongoing supportive services.

Since 2018, HBI's Military Services program has graduated over 5,300 individuals in skilled trades across 10 Military installations, providing construction career placement and volunteer opportunities to them, ensuring our nation's finest have a viable career option as they transition into civilian life.

For questions about enrolling in this program, please contact Tera Calhoun [email protected] or Becca Haro [email protected]
