Our Mission

Warriors4Wireless (W4W) is a veteran focused charitable organization striving to connect veterans to well-paying careers in the 5G workforce.


 Who We Are

Warriors4Wireless (W4W) is a non-profit formed to bridge the gap between the demand for trained and deployable wireless technicians, and the thousands of qualified service men and women eager to transfer the skills they’ve learned in the military. Our organization provides training, advanced certification and transitional support, giving veterans the building blocks they need for an exciting and fulfilling career in the telecommunications industry.

Founded by veteran leaders in the wireless industry, W4W is now supported by a large number of telecommunications industry partners including American Tower, Crown Castle, MasTec Network Solutions, Shenandoah Tower Services, Site Link and more.


What We Do

  • Since 2014, W4W has been working proactively with wireless industry partners to pinpoint applicable positions and promote the hiring of veterans
  • We work directly with DoD Transition Assistance Program Coordinators to identify suitable candidates
  • We actively search for open positions via several source channels, including job fairs and other recruiting events to connect candidates with wireless industry career opportunities
  • We design and conduct training and certification programs—in cooperation with industry organizations—to enhance the skillsets of veterans in the program
  • We develop an industry-wide apprenticeship program ensuring veterans have on the job training and required credentialing to succeed in and accelerate
    their careers
  • Our skilled and highly trained Coaches will help you and assist you with interviews, with resumé writing as well as cover letters. They will be in constant contact with you via phone calls and emails in order to check on your interviewing status, job offers and be with you until you find a job.

What We Hope To Accomplish

The United States military has undergone one of the largest reductions of forces in recent history, leaving some of our bravest, most skilled workers out of a job. As they return from deployments, veterans are facing difficulties achieving employment in our tough economy, and are surrounded by those who do not know how to leverage the training and experience they have gained through their military service.

At the same time, the wireless industry is experiencing one of the most expansive build-out and upgrade periods ever. Carriers, utilities, federal agencies, wireless vendors and system integrators across the United States are facing a critical shortage of qualified and trained workers to support new and ongoing projects, significantly impacting the entire wireless technology ecosystem. It is estimated there are between 8,000 and 10,000 open positions that need to be filled in the next 18-36 months to keep pace with the industry-wide expansion and upgrade. The majority of those open positions require skill sets nearly identical to wireless deployment, maintenance and technical support positions of the military.

W4W optimizes the investment our country has made in our military personnel – and takes a collaborative approach in working with other entities focused on hiring veterans – enabling our partners in the wireless industry to keep pace with market demands. We help to provide the critical certifications for employment in the wireless industry, as well as baseline skills for other telecom positions.

Our success is achieved through our Five Core Values:
