Strengthen Your Workforce with Veteran Talent

Become a partner and support North Carolina's military community

MOVE Boots to Biotech is a strategic workforce development program connecting North Carolina life sciences employers with highly skilled transitioning service members, veterans, and military spouses. Our team actively recruits across North Carolina's military installations, allowing employers to stay focused on operations while we identify, screen, and prepare mission-ready candidates. 

As an approved DoW SkillBridge third-party provider and U.S. Army CSP partner, we develop customized internship opportunities and recruit talent to meet your specific workforce needs.

MOVE also connects employers to North Carolina's broader veteran ecosystem through strong collaboration with organizations such as the North Carolina Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, Veterans Bridge Home, and North Carolina for Military Employment, increasing employer visibility within the veteran community.

Whether you're hiring for manufacturing, maintenance, engineering, quality, supply chain, laboratory operations, or other critical roles, MOVE serves as an extension of your talent acquisition strategy, reducing hiring risk, shortening time-to-fill, and building a sustainable pipeline of exceptional military talent.
