Caregiver Resources

HOH’s fellowships can help military caregivers enter or re-enter the workforce in a role ideally suited to your skill set and experience level.

Internships
Program Overview

This initiative provides caregivers of wounded warriors with professional training, networking, and hands-on experience in the civilian workforce. The professional development and direct connection to local employers offered through the program enable caregivers to quickly build or re-build their networks and gain localized job experience.

Fellowship Hosts
Matching with a Host Company

Fellowship candidates are carefully matched with participating companies based on the specific skills of the candidate and the preferences of both parties.

Once matched with a host company, candidates undergo exclusive on-the-job training at their host company, gaining firsthand experience in the private sector. This real-world experience is augmented by weekly educational sessions for the cohort, held in a classroom setting.

Gain Experience and Training

The fellowship features a 12-week syllabus. Following program orientation, fellows spend four days per week with their host company and one day in professional development ‘huddles’.

Eligibility Requirements
Caregiver Candidates

The Caregiver Fellowship is open to caregivers of currently serving wounded warriors of DoD service branches. Caregivers candidates must meet these education and experience requirements:

  • Fellows must be available to attend all classroom sessions and have transportation available.
  • Fellows must be available to work and seeking employment in one of our fellowship locations.
  • Fellows must have earned an associate degree and/or have applicable work experience.
  • A caregiver includes spouses, parents, family members, and friends who care for America's wounded, ill, or injured veterans.

Flexible Timelines

Applications accepted throughout the year with new opportunities available each month. Resumes of available candidates will be released to host companies on a monthly basis or upon request by employers to allow for maximum flexibility.

Consider attending Amplify prior to submitting your fellowship application. Amplify is an exclusive two-day event that leads a cohort of military spouses through intensive career preparation, professional development, and networking. Both in person and virtual sessions are available.
