BLM Group USA (Novi, MI), a global leader in the manufacture of tube processing systems, has announced their corporate involvement with Workshops for Warriors (WFW; San Diego, CA), a state-licensed, board governed, fully audited 501(c)(3) nonprofit school that trains, certifies, and helps place veterans, wounded warriors, and transitioning service members into advanced manufacturing careers such as welding, CAD/CAM programming and machining.
BLM has committed to sponsoring a student who is currently enrolled in the “Machining for Warriors” program, with the intent to hire that individual as a field service technician upon course completion. “It’s an honor for us to be involved with WFW. The sacrifices and abilities of our veteran population is nothing short of remarkable,” said Dr. Jeffrey Ahrstrom, the company president and chief operating officer. “Their training is rigorous and comprehensive; graduates are immediately employable as welders, machinists, service engineers, or CNC programmers. As a Marine, I’m proud to work for a company supporting our veterans and this program. As a business leader, I’m eager to support the next generation of engineers, machinists, and business executives. We look forward to bringing these very capable, hard-chargers into our organization.”
