We’re proud and honored to be our military hero's gateway to meaningful, long-lasting, well-paying Union Construction Careers through world-class apprenticeship education programs. 

We Need Your Support!

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Helmets to Hardhats, H2H, was created by the Center for Military Recruitment, Assessment and Veterans Employment to provide joint labor-management to transitioning active-duty military service members, veterans, National Guard and Reservists with skilled training and quality career opportunities in the construction industry. 

Since 2003, we’ve helped change the lives of over 60,000 military personnel by successfully ushering them into civilian careers in the construction trades. This is a 10% increase in the number of Veteran Career Seekers we had in 2022. 

In order for us to continue to grow, we need your help!

We’ve partnered with 15 international construction trade unions– like the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) and the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers (SMART) – that have made a commitment to help our military heroes successfully transition to civilian life and work. We help service members explore the construction trades, get them started with earn-while-you-learn apprenticeship training programs through these partner organizations, and help connect them with employers. We also educate service members on how they can use their G.I. Bill benefits to supplement their incomes while participating in a registered apprenticeship program.
