Training Veterans for Advanced Manufacturing Careers Since 2008
Workshops for Warriors Founder & CEO Hernán Luis y Prado, a U.S. Navy officer and combat veteran, started WFW out of his garage in 2008. The nonprofit school is now headquartered in San Diego, CA.
Hernán’s vision is VET 2.0, the next greatest generation. Take America’s finest, those who have honorably served, and transform them into the future of American advanced manufacturing!
