Summary: <p>Operation: Job Ready Veterans™ (OJRV) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preparing veterans, service members and military families for successful employment by connecting them with employers that seek top quality, well-trained employees. We make a personal connection and assist veterans of all eras and ability levels with their employment and career goals.</p> <p>OJRV was founded in 2007 as the Crane Learning and Employment Center for Veterans with Disabilities – with a focus on helping veterans find employment at Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division, located in Southwest Indiana.</p> <p>As the organization grew to serve veterans in Central Indiana, the group changed its name to the Career Learning and Employment Center for Veterans (CLEC). CLEC is a 501(c)3 organization. In 2012, the organization opened the program to all veterans and moved its headquarters to Indianapolis. In 2013, CLEC adopted the d/b/a, Operation: Job Ready Veterans, to more clearly communicate our mission.</p><p>Special Guests: Mike Espinda and Tom Reust.</p><p>Sponsored By:</p><ul><li> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://speakeasyindy.com">Tech Warriors</a>: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://speakeasyindy.com">The Speak Easy, with coworking locations throughout Indianapolis, is offering a Veteran Membership of just $25 per month.</a> Promo Code: Vets</li></ul><p>Links:</p><ul> <li> <a title="Operation: Job Ready Veterans" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ojrv.org">Operation: Job Ready Veterans</a> — Operation: Job Ready Veterans™ (OJRV) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preparing veterans, service members, military spouses and caregivers for successful employment by connecting them with employers that seek top quality, well-trained employees. </li> <li> <a title="Tech Warriors Part II: March 6, 2018" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/tech-warriors-speak-easy-for-veterans-part-ii-tickets-43551350261?aff=es2">Tech Warriors Part II: March 6, 2018</a> — The Speak Easy is proud to host Part II of our quarterly event, Tech Warriors.
