Lending a Helping Hand

Being a Service-Disabled, Veteran Owned Small Business, one of our biggest priorities as a company lies within supporting the service members and their respected families. A large number of our employees are past veterans who have all walked the walk and therefor understand all the hardships that come with transitioning out of the military. Our objective at Spathe Systems is to lend a helping hand in supporting all our fellow veterans looking to start the next chapter of their lives. Military skills don’t always transition to a resume and we understand that. Through our wide range of military support programs, we aim to provide military veterans (both wounded and not wounded) with an internship support program that is tailored to fit their needs and fills in the skill gaps necessary to dominate the professional/corporate landscape.

    Michael Crowder Senior Program Manager | G6 SGM, USASOC
  • Spathe Systems is a phenomenal organization with very understanding and engaging people. Their internship was the perfect opportunity to get rid of some of those initial nerves that come with transitioning out of the military. They have really prepared me for anything I want to do in the future and I couldn’t think of a better company to intern with and that’s the honest-to-God truth.

    Jerry White CW5; Chief Technology Officer, USSOCOM
  • "Thanks so very much to the entire Spathe family for an amazing learning experience. Tailoring my internship to the actual skills needed to be of value added to a new team was priceless. The team approached my transition like a mission rehearsal for a SOF operation and I have total confidence for whatever comes next. Spathe Systems has my deepest gratitude."

    Joe Pishock Colonel, US Army

    Vyron Folds

    Jeff Carlson Sergeant Major, US Army
  • “Spathe welcomed me in with open arms. They were there to support me, to help me along through my transition, and to further my education. Not only in my areas of interest, but all of the facets and that go into running a defense contracting organization. Most of which, I didn’t even know of before leaving the military. It’s exactly what you want in an employer: someone who believes in you more than you believe in yourself.”

    Cameron Gordon Senior Airman (SrA), US Air Force
  • “Being a SOF veteran, I am used to constantly looking for work; but knowing that I can take this time to focus on establishing my post military career and taking care of my family is invaluable for my transition. Spathe has provided me what I’ve been missing for the last seven years… time.”

    Ryan Dunkle E-6 Staff Sergeant US Army
  • “My initial impressions of spathe right off the bat was a company that was very passionate about helping veterans. Which is important for all of us. As you’re starting to look towards getting out of the military, there’s that fear that starts to build up of ‘am I leaving everything that I ever knew behind?’ So, I really got from the first conversation I had with Spathe was an organization that is run by veterans, that cares about veterans, that cares about them getting transitioned. That passion and focus on veterans was what struck me then and still to this day.”

    Preston Marshall Lieutenant Commander, US Navy
  • “Spathe Systems has been nothing but helpful with my internship. They are all about reducing the stress and anxiety that comes with any military transition and have aimed to ensure that it runs as smoothly as possible for me and my family.

    David Altvater Master Sergeant, US Army

    Ryan Williams Master Sergeant, US Army
  • "SPATHE has given my family and I the opportunity to establish not only a future for transition development, but also an understanding on what it takes to become successful in a business aspect of a corporate environment.

    Greg Dean Chief Petty Officer, US Army
  • "SPATHE has helped me tremendously on how to proceed during the transition process. The positive atmosphere I have seen at SPATHE and the amount of veterans the company employs has created a work environment with employees that have many things in common to relate to and talk about.”

    John Fontenot Staff Sargeant
  • SPATHE has been a tremendous help with my transition from military service to the civilian sector.

Warrior Care Coalition Program

Supporting Wounded Veterans and their Families

For newly retired, and especially wounded, veterans, transitioning out of the military can be daunting. We at Spathe Systems understand these challenges and have made it a priority to provide veterans with a support program that truly works!

WarriorCare interns are exposed to a variety of departments at Spathe custom to the intern’s goals and interests. This can include working with Program Managers, App Developers, HR staff, etc. Our WarriorCare interns are given complete flexibility to explore multiple opportunities that will broaden their expertise and ultimately increase their competitive edge in the job market. Typically, our interns are brought in for several months where we educate, train, and prepare them for their careers. We’ve had several talented WarriorCare interns join our team at Spathe who have gone on to achieve great things – both with our company and others. These interns bring a perspective unique to the warfighter that allows us to guide and direct them to success, while maintaining our diverse and talented workforce.

Messages From Past Warrior Care Program Members

  • The overall experience with Spathe Systems exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend an internship for any service member who is transitioning to the civilian workforce.  There is no better way to see how you will fit in an organization than by working with the people who are the company.

    Matthew McHale Director; J3-International at USSOCOM
  • Spathe Systems embodies what it means to be a group of professionals. The leadership supported me from start to finish and met all my questions with care and consideration. From the very beginning, they ensured my success and made it clear that that was their main goal. I’ve learned valuable and irreplaceable knowledge that I will take with me forever and I owe it all to Spathe Systems. I could not have asked for a better internship experience, and I recommend it to anyone coming out of the military.

    Danny Lopez Sergeant Major
  • In my opinion, this is where innovative and interoperable solutions are created. I have watched Spathe Systems solve long standing problems that, while in uniform, I wished we could have fixed. It has truly been exciting to watch.

    Michael Klick Technical Recruiter
  • "The team here at Spathe, from the Owner on down, has a clear mission for the internship program. They provide retiring service members with any tool they need to help with their transition to the private sector. I have learned so much about myself and what I enjoy and don't enjoy outside of the uniform, and also how a company conducts business and where I can add value to a company. ”
