There’s no denying that combat Veterans have a different perspective and broader definition than most when it comes to the topic of helping others. These heroes have seen things and done more for America then we as a society can ever repay. That is one of the reasons why we support organizations like Interactive America, Inc, a Non-for Profit incorporated in the year 2000 by one such combat Veteran. Supporting them is our way of giving back and saying “thank you” to the often “thankless”.

Interactive America, Inc is a multi-faceted organization that, like the military, has many moving parts and divisions, and when all working together produce outstanding results. One of the training programs they offer provides the skills and training that allow one to learn a Trade that can be used in everyday life as either an employee for a contracting company or to start your own business. Interactive America makes available free training to Veterans who’ve returned home with skills that do not always line up with a civilian life or business.

It’s Estimated that some 30 million jobs in the United States pay an average of $55,000 per year and don’t require bachelor’s degree. Seventy-percent of construction companies nationwide are having trouble finding qualified workers, according to the Associated General Contractors of America; ..read more here.

One of the most popular training courses offered by Interactive America is First Responder Disaster Training. We all have heard the term first responder but few actually know what it takes to become one.

First responders are people with specialized training who are among the first to arrive and provide assistance at the scene of an emergency, such as an accident, natural disaster, or terrorist attack. We usually don’t put too much thought into those people who show up when a disaster strikes, we just know they show up and they do whatever it takes to help restore a community and help those in need. When we think of first responders, we typically think paramedics, emergency medical technicians, police officers, and firefighters, but for every one of them there a hundred others of “unknown skilled support personnel” that also show up. Most of the individuals are in fact veterans, or military trained men and women who’ve returned home. For many men and women of our Armed Forces, the desire to serve their country and fellow man does not diminish once they take off the uniform. They do not get metals, pay or even notoriety for doing this work, they do it because it’s who they are at there core. Someone has to train these first responders so they are certified and able to do the job required.

First Responder Disaster Training is only one of the programs Interactive America offers. This program includes the Technical, Regulatory and Hands-on Experience needed to become an OSHA certified First Responder. Once certified you can volunteer as a first responder when disaster strikes, however, you also walk away with knowledge, skills, abilities & training which can be used for personal gains in everyday life and in business.
