iVETS, the Institute for Veterans and Emerging Technology Skills, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit operating out of The Enterprise Building in downtown San Bernardino. We deliver accelerated, hands-on training in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, IoT, drone operations, and applied emerging technology, with a veteran-first mission and built-in pipelines to employer networks in logistics, defense, and enterprise software.

Accelerated Programs

Hands-on classes on a live production datacenter floor. No prerequisites. Employer-recognized credentials. Built for people who need to earn while they learn.

Veteran-First Mission

Co-founded by a U.S. Navy veteran. SkillBridge-eligible structure. Built to receive transitioning servicemembers in their final 180 days, and the populations around them who also deserve a shot.

Real Hardware. Real Employers. Real Jobs.

A 500-square-foot production datacenter. Enterprise software partners who hire. A building full of referral organizations who live the populations we serve. Not a simulator.

Why iVETS Exists

Most workforce programs move on semester cycles.
The technology doesn't.

By the time a community college finishes designing an AI curriculum, the tools have shifted twice. By the time a transitioning servicemember finishes a two-year associate degree, their SkillBridge window has closed, their spouse has relocated, and the employer who was hiring has moved on.

iVETS was built to close that gap. We move at industry speed, deliver on live hardware, and graduate students directly into employer networks that are already hiring.

A faster implementation path for AI and emerging technology workforce programs.

Most workforce plans assume the technology will hold still long enough to write the curriculum. It doesn’t. By the time a traditional program launches, the tools have shifted and the employer demand has changed. iVETS gives community colleges and workforce boards an applied training environment that moves at industry speed.

We serve the populations your systems are already trying to reach: transitioning servicemembers, veterans, foster youth, survivors of domestic violence, reentry populations, and neurodivergent learners. Our role is to help convert those priority populations into completions, credentials, and employment outcomes through accelerated classes delivered on live production hardware.
