What is the Workplace?

The WorkPlace is honored to be the recipient of the generous support of Lockheed Martin.  Lockheed Martin, parent company of Sikorsky Aircraft, is an American company that is a global industry leader in aerospace, arms, defense, information security, manufacturing, and technology.  For the past several years, Lockheed Martin has generously supported initiatives of The WorkPlace including ApprenticeshipWorks, which provides training to address the shortage of skilled workers in manufacturing and healthcare. Trainees receive access to career coaching and exploration, workforce readiness training, resume, interview, and job search assistance, occupational training, and certifications as well as supportive services at no-cost.

Another program supported through the funding from Lockheed Martin is Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF).  Through the SSVF program, The WorkPlace coordinates delivery of support services to very low-income veteran families. SSVF helps participants improve their housing stability, obtain U.S. Veterans Administration benefits, and obtain and coordinate other public benefits.

The perfect alignment between Lockheed Martin and The WorkPlace directly improves the lives of veterans, increases the skillset of individuals seeking careers, and strengthens the workforce and community.
