Brian Arrington is a retired Air Force Veteran and founder of VETS2INDUSTRY. The non-profit organization supports and helps transitioning military personnel, Veterans and military spouses find meaningful and sustainable careers in the civilian workforce.
In Arrington’s last year of service to the U.S. Air Force, he learned there were over 45,000 plus Veteran Service Organizations nationwide that provided free services and support to U.S. military families. He realized that a huge gap existed between available, free resources and benefits and knowledge among our nation’s heroes and their families.
Air Force Veteran Brian Arrington founded VETS2INDUSTRY in 2019.
After Arrington founded VETS2INDUSTRY in 2019, its mission became clear: People First, Veterans and their families always!
