WASHINGTON, D.C. — Carhartt recently donated $100,000 to Helmets to Hardhats, a nonprofit program designed to help active-duty military service members, reservists and veterans successfully transition back into civilian life by offering the means to secure a quality career in the building and trade industry.
The company has committed to donating $100,000 annually to support the organization’s mission to train transitioning vets for careers in the trades. In 2014, Carhartt became a supporter of Helmets to Hardhats to help promote its mission. Carhartt’s Made In The USA products feature tags that promote awareness for Helmets to Hardhats.
“Since the program’s inception in 2003, we have successfully transitioned nearly 20,000 program members into quality building and construction trade careers, as well as management positions like controllers, safety project managers, project managers and dispatchers through our partner companies,” said Darrell Roberts, executive director, Helmets to Hardhats. “No matter which path our participants take, it costs close to $1,000 for one vet to successfully utilize the program. Carhartt’s donation will go a long way in helping many veterans achieve new, lucrative careers.”
