MVPVets (The MedTech and BioTech Veterans Program) is recognizing
top donors for the program in 2014. MVPVets, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organization, provides training and mentorship to veterans and
transitioning military in order to help them recareer into
rewarding jobs in Life Sciences industry. Wholly sponsored by
grants and the Medical Device and Technology, Biological
Technological, Pharmaceutical, and other segments within the Life
Sciences industry, the program partners with host companies for
one-day recareering seminars and provides virtual mentorship and
training through the MVPVets collaborative online portal.
February marks the completion of the organization's first full
year of operations, made possible by the generosity and
philanthropy of the industry associations and companies that donate
the funds needed to help veterans find compelling careers in the
life sciences industry.
Today, MVPVets would like to recognize the most generous and
active donors in the program:
- Acelity, a renowned a global wound care and
regenerative medicine company
- Haemonetics, the global leader in blood
management solutions
- B. Braun, the industry leader in developing
infusion therapy and pain management products and services
Together, these three companies donated nearly one third of the
funds needed for MVPVets to succeed in helping hundreds of veterans
connect with mentors and participate in partnered recareering
events and online training through the Life Collaborative learning
courses.
"The generosity of supporters like Acelity, Haemonetics, B.
Braun, and also our founding company Abiomed, enables MVPVets to
provide free job skills training and enrollment into Life
Collaborative distance learning courses for hundreds of veterans,"
said Mike Grice, Chief Operating Officer, MVPVets. "We
would like to sincerely thank all of our sponsors, including the
industry associations AdvaMed for starting and supporting the
program and MDMA for its enthusiastic support and engagement. All
of our supporters have provided the financial sponsorship and
commitment which allows us to help the veteran community."
With donations from top sponsors and nearly 30 other donor
companies, MVPVets has been able to host over 200 veteran
participants in industry sponsored recareering seminars and has
tripled the size of the program during the first year of
operations.
With over 800 participating veterans, MVPVets is on track to
reach its enrollment goal of 5,000 veterans into the program by
2018.
