Combat Veterans to Careers (CVC) was founded in The Villages in May 2012 with the commitment to serve our nation’s combat veterans and their families. Since our inception, we’ve assisted more than 955 veteran families in the area of education, employment, housing, and wellness.  CVC has partnered with local residents, clubs, businesses, colleges, and VA offices to bring combat veterans and their families “home” to a community that embraces them and provides education, understanding, and meaningful employment to minimize hardships.Our Mission Is To Provide 360 Degrees Of Support And Opportunities and To Enhance The Quality Of Life For Our Combat Veterans And Their Families. Our goal is to provide opportunities for combat veterans who are ready for a rewarding, life-long career by giving them the necessary tools for success. Focusing on the four main areas of education, employment, affordable housing, and wellness, we are able to provide our veterans and their families with 360 degrees of support and well-being.The need for this support grows each day as veterans continue to reach out to us. Together we can continue to ensure the men and women who have chosen valiantly defend the freedoms we enjoy will receive the support they need to achieve the civilian lifestyle they deserve.
