Project RELO is a 501c3 not-for-profit organization dedicated to educating the business community on the value of hiring our nation's veterans. We have partnered with the US Army and US Army Reserve to bring business executives together with transitioning veterans where we conduct a multi-day training curriculum. This curriculum consists of scripted and unscripted adversity as participants receive military training, test their mettle in off-road confidence courses, make camp, and share learnings and experiences with each other. This results in a mutual appreciation between business executives and military veterans, a life-long network of participants, and a sense of accomplishment for all who participate.
