Veterans stepping out of uniform and into the energy transition. A real-time, season-long look at how today's service members break into the energy industry.
"We built this community to prove that the veterans-in-energy pipeline works. This season, we're tracking it in real time — and bringing a sponsor along for the ride."
For the past year, Project Vanguard's podcast has told the stories of the veteran community leaders shaping energy — hilarious, hard-won, and insightful in equal measure.
This next season turns the lens forward. We follow a cohort of currently transitioning service members as they make the jump into the energy industry in real time — the mentor calls, the first interviews, the pivots, the first day on a new job.
Does the veterans-in-energy community we've built at PV make that leap faster and smoother? Where are the gaps? We're tracking the full arc, and bringing your brand along with us.
