In this episode, we have a very special guest, Tony “Tank” Aponte, a
former Air Force veteran who is now the Founder and CEO of Allegiant
Giving, a non-profit organization that focuses on providing workforce
development and DOD Skillbridge programs to military members
transitioning into civilian life.
Tank shares with us the challenges that military members face when
transitioning into the civilian workforce, and how Allegiant Giving is
helping to bridge the gap between military service and civilian life.
Through their various programs and partnerships, Allegiant Giving is
helping veterans to acquire the skills they need to succeed in the
civilian workforce.
One of their most exciting partnerships is with Coursera, a leading
online education platform. Through this partnership, any veteran,
military member, or dependent can access thousands of courses for free,
for life. These courses cover a wide range of topics, from personal
development to professional growth, and are designed to help military
members make the most of their transition into civilian life.
So if you’re a military member or veteran looking to transition into
civilian life, or if you’re interested in supporting those who are, this
is an episode you won’t want to miss. Tune in now to hear from Tony
“Tank” Aponte and learn more about Allegiant Giving and their mission to
