🛠️ Sister of N.E.W. & Veterans Construction Consultants
Building Futures Across the USA & Africa
Inspired by the story of Luisa Ortiz, featured in WSVN’s Build a Better Future, this initiative expands the reach of Sister of N.E.W. (Nontraditional Employment for Women) by partnering with the United States and Latin Veterans Construction Consultants.
Together, we’re creating a pathway for veterans and women to thrive in the clean-up, maintenance, and construction industries—both in South Florida and across Africa.
🔧 What We Do
- Pre-Apprenticeship Training: Strength, skills, and lifestyle coaching to prepare for real-world construction jobs
- Veteran Job Placement: Matching veterans with employers who value their experience and dedication
- Global Impact: Extending opportunities to underserved communities in Africa through mobility and infrastructure projects
🤝 Why It Matters
- Veterans gain meaningful employment and a renewed sense of purpose
- Women break barriers in nontraditional industries
- Communities benefit from sustainable development and skilled labor
This division is more than a workforce program—it’s a movement to empower those who’ve served and those who strive, building a legacy of resilience and opportunity.
