Hernán Luis y Prado, a 15-year Navy combat veteran, was faced with a challenge: more of his fellow service members were dying from suicide than bombs and bullets in conflict zones. Realizing the challenges of transitioning back to civilian life, and our nation's lack of an advanced manufacturing workforce training pipeline, Luis y Prado created Workshops for Warriors, (WFW.org) a program that retrains veterans for advanced manufacturing careers. San Diego is the birthplace for this green manufacturing renaissance that gives veterans purposeful, dignified careers and ways to provide for their families and communities. #TEDxSanDiego #TEDx #TEDxSpeaker #workshopsforwarriors #veteranjobs #americanmanufacturing #transitioningservicemembers #veteranowned #skillsgap WFW.org A 15-year Navy veteran, Hernán Luis y Prado founded San Diego-based Workshops for Warriors (WFW.org), the only nonprofit school in America that trains, certifies, and places veterans and transitioning service members into advanced manufacturing careers to help rebuild America's manufacturing capabilities. WFW has graduated over 1,100 veterans working in every state for companies like Tesla, Boeing & Ford. Luis y Prado was named the US Small Business Administration’s Entrepreneur of The Year for 2022 for the state of California.  wfw.org  Reach Luis y Prado at:  info@wfw.org This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
