Houston Airports, in partnership with Edge4Vets, provides training and job opportunities for some of the nation’s service personnel who are returning to the civilian workforce. The free workshop was postponed last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but because of its importance, Houston Airports is holding two workshops virtually on October 15 and 29.

It’s all a part of the effort to identify talented personnel for local aviation jobs , while ensuring that the right consideration is given to those who have fought and served.
The Edge4Vets program consists of two phases: PREP and CONNECT.
During the PREP phase, veterans learn how to translate their military skills into terminology that resonates with recruiters and HR specialists. During this phase, veterans create their own personal “Plan4Success” which helps identify their most important skill sets and leadership experiences that help them stand out.
After the “PREP” phase, participants are invited to “CONNECT” with Houston Airports recruiters and affiliated business partners. Houston Airports and its business partners have supervisors on-hand who act as mentors and provide guidance for veteran applicants. The goal is to hold conversations and help veterans understand where their skills may best be utilized within the air travel industry.
