Zift Solutions Powers TrainOurTroops With ZiftONE Platform

PRESS RELEASE — CHANNEL PARTNERS CONFERENCE & EXPO — April 9, 2019 — Zift Solutions, an Enterprise Channel Management leader, announced today that it is giving TrainOurTroops, and the 5,000+ U.S. military veterans and dependents it serves, immediate access to ZiftONE at no cost. TrainOurTroops will use the ZiftONE platform to ignite the careers of U.S. veterans and their dependents with advanced online training and business certifications to give them a competitive advantage within the civilian marketplace. Attendees of Channel Partners Conference & Expo can see how TrainOurTroops will utilize ZiftONE in Booth #177 April 9-12 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

“Zift Solutions is honored to support the hard work and mission of TrainOurTroops by streamlining the education and transition of veterans and their dependents to more fulfilling and higher-paying civilian careers,” said Gordon Rapkin, CEO of Zift Solutions.

Using the ZiftONE Platform, veterans and their dependents will be able to access over 500 courses and certifications designed by TrainOurTroops and its corporate sponsors, including Juniper Networks, eBay and Exxon, among others. All TrainOurTroops courses are free to veterans and their dependents simply by registering at https://trainourtroops.org/.

“ZiftONE will make it easier to provide valuable online training and certification for vets and their dependents on the most relevant business solutions in demand by today’s leading employers,” said Glen Brynteson, founder of TrainOurTroops.

The proactive platform guides and inspires action by both veterans and potential employers. Veterans and their dependents can hand-pick any number of individual online courses or follow roadmaps TrainOurTroops have created to become certified for a particular career. At the same time, corporate supporters get actionable reports on their progress and expected completion dates in order to fill open positions with highly-qualified individuals.

Far too many veterans and their families find themselves in low-paying jobs that underutilize their potential. A recent online survey showed 68% of veterans registering with TrainOurTroops considered themselves “underemployed.”  Others find themselves unemployed for extended periods with out-of-date skill sets. Moreover, spouses and dependents of active duty and civilian reserve spouses are twice as likely to be unemployed than the general public, according to Hire Our Heros, a program of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

The latest report from the USBLS notes unemployment rates among vets are now edging down, in part due to organizations like TrainOurTroops and commitments from their partners, such as Juniper Networks, who have pledged to add additional veterans and dependents to their workforce.

As the largest channel event for agents, MSPs, VARs, consultants, integrators and service providers, The Channel Partners Conference & Expo will not only give attendees the opportunity to see TrainOurTroops and ZiftONE in action but will also allow them to network with over 6,200 channel pros and 275+ leading…
… suppliers, learn about potential career opportunities and gain insight on business strategy, cloud computing, marketing technology and more.

A 501(c)3 veteran non-profit organization, TrainOurTroops will be at the Channel Partners Conference & Expo in Booth #177 with Zift Solutions, demonstrating how they can help veterans and their dependents:
