Telecom for Vets, Inc.
Your experience has a place here.
We help veterans carry their experience into civilian careers in telecom and IT sales, with practical training, mentorship, and people who can help them take the next step.
Our mission
Veterans bring leadership, determination, and experience to their next chapter. We help them put those strengths to work in telecom and technology through practical training, personal mentorship, and industry connections.
Our mission is to help veterans build meaningful careers and a community they can count on.
Our MissionWhat we do
We help veterans prepare for careers in telecom and IT sales through training, mentorship, and industry connections. The Rapport Coach is a six-week coaching program founded by retired U.S. Army Green Beret Scott Mann. Its approach helps people prepare for important conversations, build trust, and use their stories to connect.
Build trust. Find your voice. Take the next step. Our Seller’s Journey uses The Rapport Coach’s relationship-building approach alongside guided practice. Veterans prepare for important conversations and turn their stories into meaningful connections with future colleagues and customers.
A personal Story Guide gives each veteran someone in their corner. Together, they work on telling their story, recognizing the strengths they bring, and finding direction for the next chapter of their career.
Through our relationships with Altaworx and AMOP, we’re building a path from training to practical experience in telecom and technology. Veterans can apply their skills, learn how telecom businesses serve customers, and explore a future in the industry.
Altaworx was named the Mobile Chamber’s 2022 Small Business of the Year and received TMCnet’s 2023 Workplace Excellence Award for Tech Culture.
Who we are
Telecom for Vets was founded by Rickie Richey and is led by Executive Director Mimi Jernigan. TFV draws on industry support from Altaworx and AMOP.
