Troops To Firefighters is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that recruits veterans and transitioning service members to become nationally certified firefighters and 9-1-1 emergency dispatch operators. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment projects growth in both fields through 2022.
We see opportunity for veterans and employers alike. Our team has over 100 years of fire service experience leading some of America's top fire departments. Our hands-on approach ensures our students will receive the best guidance and mentoring possible on their path to certification and job placement where their skills and experiences are most needed.
