It’s important that you not only learn how to get back on your feet physically, mentally, and emotionally, but dealing with finances is the last thing you’ll want to do. This is why the organization has created so many programs and why going through them step-by-step is important.</span></p><p><span>The idea behind these programs is to not only help rehabilitate service members and veterans but to get them all back to a place where they can live in peace, harmony and care for themselves. There is no reason that these men and women that serve our country should ever be without work once they retire, nor should they ever face being unemployed. They have families to care for as well.</span></p><p><span>This is why part of the economic empowerment program with Wounded Warrior Project offers higher education classes, training in information technology, employment assistance and more to encourage financial stability for these men and women and their families.</span></p><h2><span><u><strong>Wounded Warrior Project Offers Track Program</strong></u></span></h2><p><span>The Track Program is one of the first offerings I want to share with you so that you get the bigger picture of what is happening within the Wounded Warrior Project and why it’s so vital to our men and women. Track is actually an education center with two locations. One is in Jacksonville, Florida and the other is located in San Antonio, Texas.</span></p><p><span>The program is a year long and is designed to help you:</span></p><ul><li><span>Meet educational goals</span></li><li><span>Meet health and wellness goals</span></li><li><span>Focus on mental health</span></li><li><span>Career development</span></li></ul><p><span>Upon entering the program students are put into teams which helps to keep service members and veterans connected as they were when they first entered the military. Regardless of what you faced in the past those that you work with while in the TRACK program are committed to helping you not only get further but to become more, and to help you do more for as long as you are in the program.</span></p><p><span>The question that you may have is whether or not this is the right program for you. There are some questions that we ask veterans and service members to help them determine this.</span></p><h3><span><u><strong>Questions the Wounded Warrior Project Asks Before You Enter the Track Program</strong></u></span></h3><p><span>While you may be wondering if the TRACK program is right for you there are some questions that Wounded Warrior asks to ensure that you are including:</span></p><ul><li><span>Do you wish to begin or continue your education?</span></li><li><span>Do you wish to improve and work on your health and wellness?</span></li><li><span>Are you ready to learn more about how combat injuries affect your life now and in the future?</span></li><li><span>Are you focused on learning how to find positive ways to deal with your challenges physically, mentally, and emotionally?</span></li><li><span>Are you ready to take responsibility to create your new life?</span></li><li><span>Are you willing to relocate for at least one year to Jacksonville, Florida or San Antonio, Texas to get your life on track with this program?</span></li></ul><p><span>It’s well worth it to have the support you need. While you may not be certain if this is right for you so many have come out of this program ahead and with more stability. I would encourage you today to learn more about what Wounded Warrior Project has to offer and how they can help you get your life back.</span></p><p><span>LETS GET THE WORD OUT</span></p><p><span>James </span></p><p><a href="http://www.empowernetwork.com/commissionloophole?id=jameshunter" title=""><u><strong><span>Empowering Others</span></strong></u></a></p><p><span>P.S.</span></p><p><span>Make Today Count</span></p></div>Transition Programs with Wounded Warrior Projecthttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/profiles/blogs/transition-programs-with-wounded-warrior-project2014-03-01T16:51:18.000Z2014-03-01T16:51:18.000ZJames Hunterhttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/members/JamesHunter<div><p><span>Among the amazing programs at the Wounded Warrior Project is the Transition Training Academy. This is yet another program that is designed to help veterans get prepared for a new career path as they change into their new lives once they return from combat. It is not so simple for all veterans making that transition into the civilian workforce, but that is why the programs truly exist.</span></p><p><span>This particular program is available for helping veterans seek more information about information technology as a possible career choice. The best part about this program is not only that it is focused on a career choice but it’s also designed to offer plenty of hands on training for the veterans with their instructors.</span></p><p><span>Learning-by-doing is a great way for veterans to transition into something that for them is such an unknown. Many veterans come back from combat not certain of what life will be like for them and they feel a bit out of their element. This is why Wounded Warrior Project is here to help service members and veterans get the support they need along with their family members to resume life as normal as possible.</span></p><h2><span>How Wounded Warrior Project Uses Transition Training Academy to Heal</span></h2><p><span>While it may not seem possible there is plenty of truth to the fact that the Transition Training Academy has healing properties to it. Because the model is a “high touch” engagement learning experience, those veterans that struggle with TBI or PTSD.</span></p><p><span>The classes are offered for free by Wounded Warrior Project to the men and women that have served our country, as well as spouses and caregivers too. There are several sites for this available in the United States and outside of the country including:</span></p><ul><li><span>Baumholder, Germany</span></li><li><span>Camp Lejeune, Jacksonville, North Carolina</span></li><li><span>Camp Pendleton, MCS, California</span></li><li><span>Fort Belvoir, Fairfax, Virginia</span></li><li><span>Fort Bragg, Fayetteville, North Carolina</span></li><li><span>Fort Carson, Colorado Springs, Colorado</span></li><li><span>And many more</span></li></ul><p><span>There are many sites available to help as many warriors as possible and their families so that the transition into a new life is easier and guided by those that understand and have special training.</span></p><p><span>It’s amazing that something so wonderful exists, and if I were just now coming back from combat I know that I would find it useful and a comfort to know that so many people do really care about those men and women that serve our country.</span></p><h3><span>Partners that Connected with Wounded Warrior Project</span></h3><p><span>Now that you know what the organization has to offer you and your family, you should also know that many partners have made this program possible. The Department of Labor, Veteran’s Employment and Training Service, Cisco, and the Office of Disability Employment Policy. When all of these amazing organizations partner with WWP, it makes it easier to serve the men and women that have so faithfully served us.</span></p><p><span><em>I hope that you fully understand just how much Wounded Warrior Project has to offer you as a service member or veteran, and that you’ll find respite once you return home. </em></span></p><p><span>Share with others and lets get the word out. </span></p><p><span>James</span></p><p><a href="http://www.empowernetwork.com/commissionloophole?id=jameshunter" title=""><u><strong><span>Empowering Others</span></strong></u></a></p><p><span>P.S.</span></p><p><span>Make Today Count</span></p></div>
