The problem we solve

Veterans deserve more than a thank-you letter

  • Ignite maps your service experience to a trade


    No civilian career path

    Military skills don’t translate automatically.
    Most veterans restart from zero without a framework.

  • Ignite certifies you in 6 weeks, job included


    College takes 4 years

    Most degree programs don’t guarantee employment. 4 years of debt for uncertain outcomes.

  • Our partners are pre-trained to hire you


    Employers aren’t ready for you

    Companies want to hire veterans but don’t know how to recruit or onboard them effectively.
