VOCATION, EDUCATION & TRAINING FOR SERVICE MEMBERSThe Sharp Decisions V.E.T.S. Program operates with a level of integrity, strength and passion you won’t find elsewhere. Our V.E.T.S. Program is dedicated to matching trained, committed and proven military veteran leaders with corporate IT careers, while providing immediate, measurable and cost-effective benefits to our clients’ bottom lines.

HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS Platoon-based training and deployments central

to program’s mission Provides boot camp-like, client tailored corporate

technology training to tech-savvy, transitioning and industry experienced U.S. Armed Forces veterans

Supplements existing skills with specific hands on training to meet client needs

Once training is complete, veterans are: Deployed as Sharp Decisions employees to

clients in squads of three or more Emulates unit-based culture they’ve grown

accustomed to in the military Empowers them to use previously acquired

skills as members and leaders of a team Program operates without any government assistance Veterans are paid throughout the training Never touch the veterans’ G.I. Bill benefits

OUR V.E.T.S.™ PROGRAM

WHY IT WORKS AND THE BENEFITS Boot camp affords them opportunity to hone existing skills in client-customized environments

Enables them to hit the ground running upon client deployment Bridge the gap between their existing skills and needs of our clients

Creates teams that are: Readily integrated with customer’s business Consistently providing clients with substantial time and cost saving results

Work with clients to provide SME on as-needed basis at no extra cost Ensures veteran teams have right oversight and support

Unique squad method resulted in every V.E.T.S.-only project being completed on time or ahead of schedule and on or below budget

However, veterans are capable of working on various projects and can work on separate teams. Here’s the proof:

At Freddie Mac, the V.E.T.S. team completed a project nearly one month ahead of schedule.

At EmblemHealth, reporting time on project reports reduced from 45 minutes to one minute.
