Weiler Abrasives Group, a provider of abrasives, power brushes and maintenance products for surface conditioning, has launched a national fundraising campaign, Leading a Warriors’ Charge, in partnership with Workshops for Warriors, a nonprofit school that trains, certifies and helps place veterans, wounded warriors and transitioning service members into advanced manufacturing careers. Weiler donated $25,000 to kick off the year-long campaign that will support machining and welding training programs at the nonprofit trade school, as well as contribute to long-term growth of the organization.
“Weiler believes in the value of the Workshops for Warriors cause and is pleased to support it,” said Nate Schmid, Director of Marketing — Americas, Weiler Abrasives Group. “Bringing veterans back into the workforce after they have served and training them with skills to have careers in welding and CNC machining is so important, both for their livelihoods and for our industry, as we face a major gap in the technical trades across the U.S.”
Workshops for Warriors solves two systemic issues: rebuilding America’s transition into viable, upwardly mobile civilian careers.
Weiler has been providing Workshops for Warriors with in-kind support since 2014, supplying abrasive products and safety products to meet the needs of every incoming class each semester.
“Weiler has been a great supporter of ours since the outset,” said Lyle Palm, Dean of Welding at Workshops for Warriors. “They have gone the extra mile with this campaign. It is an honor to partner with a company that genuinely believes in what we are doing.”
