Verizon and Wounded Warrior Project are partnering to support at least 1,000 veterans with upskilling between this year's Veterans Day and next year's Veterans Day. The partnership leverages Verizon's free Skill Forward program. Participants in Verizon Skill Forward can access more than 250 free, credentialed courses through edX from four-year universities and distinguished institutions.

Spanning over 80 unique professional certificate programs, users can pursue skills in high growth job fields like AI, business, coding, communication, finance, IT and more. The platform also provides access to tips, industry-specific events, workshops and a job board to support users' professional development and career transition. According to a study from Call of Duty Endowment and ZipRecruiter, 33% of veterans are underemployed, despite having foundational skills and potential to thrive in a number of industries.

The Verizon Skill Forward program is designed to pave a path to new career opportunities with free, university courses from edX. Verizon is committed to providing exclusive offers to active military, veterans and their families.
