Can I get connected with a mentor that is from the Air Force or that is within a manufacturer mangement role?

Veteran

Michael Rainer Tucson , AZ

I would like to have multiple mentors if possible. I am looking for someone that I can bounce questions off of concerning both the retirement / separation from the USAF as well as someone within the industry of manufacturing

Hello Michael

If you are specifically interested in manufacturing, there is a great program called Heroes MAKE America that serves as a direct and effective pipeline for veterans looking to work in industry. Here is some general information and if you're interested I can personally connect you with the former program manager who can connect you to the current manager.
