Seek Now Rolls Out DRIVE Academy, Becoming an Official DOD SkillBridge Provider
Seek Now, a tech-enabled inspection platform, is proud to announce the launch of DRIVE Academy and introduce its first intern, Senior Airman Noah Williams, who will be joining through Seek Now’s partnership with the Department of Defense (DOD) SkillBridge Program.
DRIVE Academy (Development, Resources, Innovation, and Virtual Education) is Seek Now’s new learning and development initiative for former service members. DRIVE Academy will provide these aspiring professionals with mentorship opportunities, hard-skill coursework, and career advancement in the field inspection and insurance industry. For Veterans, DRIVE Academy is Seek Now’s opportunity to show gratitude through goodwill service and upskilling resources.
Seek Now’s new partnership with the DOD SkillBridge Program empowers us to extend our dedication to service members even further. The DOD SkillBridge Program allows service members to gain valuable civilian work experience through specific industry internships by connecting transitioning service members with industry partners in real-world job experiences. Military Veterans currently make up 33% of Seek Now’s nationwide Field Inspector Network, and with 250+ positions across 154 US cities, the business is looking forward to increasing that statistic.
“As a United States Air Force Veteran, I get where they are coming from,” says Mark Adams, Seek Now’s Director of Process Improvement. “Transitioning from service is a daunting experience. It is an honor to support our service members with DRIVE Academy’s lucrative career opportunities.”
SrA Noah Williams, born and raised in Yuma, AZ, has served six decorated years in the USAF, with a career in the elite Tactical Air Control Party. SrA Williams begins his internship with Seek Now on April 8th.
