3 months later

3 months ago Nathaniel Rido. CEO of Southeast Vocational Alliance, a non profit organization (5013c) that creates jobs for people with disabilities and his associate, retired army veteran Master Sergeant Bruce Davidson took the Brooke live Freight Broker Training course. An associate, Barbara Scott took the online course. You may remember them from earlier blog entries. The three have found much success in three short months in their non-profit business, Southeast Vocational Alliance (www.svalogistics.com & www.svabiz.com).

Nate applied and was approved for a government contract through the United States Department of Defense. He would be a contractor to move spot bids and tenders (military goods). He decided he needed to get additional training to properly handle this new business. Brooke stood out among other schools because of their approval by the government to train veterans. Nate says training at Brooke prepared him and his group well to service this contract. He learned to understand laws of transportation and the way to organize his business as a freight broker, to identify the proper carriers and use tools to get the freight delivered. The Defense department is very happy. Every fifteen minutes Nate and SVA receive emails to move more military goods … yes every 15 minutes. So far they have completed twelve bids and are busy doing the work to stay on top of things.

In addition to moving freight they are helping to train disabled vets and others with disabilities into new careers like freight brokering. Brooke’s live course in Dallas is approved for Vocational Rehabilitation through Veterans Affairs. Disabled vets can qualify for 100% financial assistance of the course cost. I don’t know about you but I’m happy to know about government programs that help our veterans start a new career well trained and confident -- not a hand out but a hand up. That is a good use for our tax dollars.
