VETS² trains veterans for stable, respected careers in the security industry — and builds the community and resources to help them get there.
Training Veterans for Careers in Security
VETS² (Veterans Education and Training in Security Services) is a registered 501(c)(19) veterans organization. We equip veterans with the training, certifications, and connections they need to build lasting careers in the security field — while creating hands-on ways for the community to support them.
