Ali Nelson, Med, Pmp Email & Phone Number

I connected the military community to workforce development opportunities. As a Fellowship Program Manager of Hiring Our Heroes’ Career Forward Program, I helped transitioning service members, military spouses, and veterans upskill and reskill as they completed Google Career Certificates via the Coursera e-Learning platform. Once they completed their Google Career Certificates, I helped connect graduates to fellowship or direct hire opportunities with companies ready to hire. To help my customers, I designed and facilitated learning and professional development webinars to include onboarding, networking, and job searching, and work closely with Google team members to host resume and interview workshops. I loved helping the military community take their professional development to the next level – whether it was for a career change, a promotion, or returning to the workforce. With support from Google and a $10M grant, I helped launch the program in November 2021 and celebrated surpassing the program’s annual goal in the first month with 1000+ learners enrolled.
