The Ambitious VET Network Announces Course to Support Veterans in Building a Strong Personal Tribe and Combatting Social Isolation

Studies have shown how the nationwide loneliness epidemic is impacting collaboration, productivity, and overall satisfaction in the workplace. While it's hitting everyone, we know that transitioning veterans are particularly susceptible.

AVN is currently accepting veterans for its first cohort which will launch on June 7, 2024, and run until July 26th.
