Veteran Internship

A paid runway back to work.

For veterans rebuilding momentum, a real job with real coaching — and a community that's invested in where you're headed next.

The program

Work, coached.

The ETS internship is a 6–12 month paid position designed to rebuild the rhythm, confidence, and references that lead to full-time employment.

Interns fill a real role — maintenance around the VREC or a barista shift at Rick's Coffee Bar — working anywhere from 5 to 20 hours a week. Alongside the work comes weekly life- and career-coaching: the accountability and support that turn a job into a launching pad.
