Spathe Systems Partners with University of South Florida’s Veteran Success Program
Tampa, FL – August 2023 – Spathe Systems Partners with University of South Florida’s Veteran Success Program to Foster Career Growth and Defense Innovation.
As the defense industry continues to evolve, it becomes increasingly more important for supporting organizations to develop a workforce that can keep up. At Spathe Systems, we are fully committed to creating a workforce that not only supports, but also advances the defense industry and its ability to safeguard our nation. A big part of this comes from our partnership and engagement with veterans at the university level who not only have knowledge on the latest industry trends and technologies but are also actively applying their skills to a full-fledged degree and career.
This is why we are more than excited to announce our new partnership with the University of South Florida’s (USF) esteemed Veteran Success Program! This collaboration is set to transform the landscape of career development for veteran students enrolled at USF by offering them an internship opportunity to apply their studies in an organization actively supporting the public and private sectors. Through this new partnership program, USF students will engage in hands-on projects that not only contribute to the advancement of the defense sector but also facilitate the expansion of their careers in alignment with their academic pursuits.
As an organization committed to creating a workforce that fosters innovation and excellence, Spathe Systems recognizes the immense potential that veterans bring to the workforce. Their dedication, discipline, and problem-solving skills acquired during their service align seamlessly with the demands of the defense industry. With this new partnership, Spathe Systems aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, thus fostering a holistic learning environment that empowers veterans to excel in their chosen fields.
“We are incredibly excited about this partnership with the University of South Florida’s Veteran Success Program. At Spathe Systems, we are dedicated to fostering a culture of innovation, and this collaboration allows us to not only support veterans but also modernize our workforce with fresh talent and perspectives. We look forward to the positive impact this partnership will have on the future of defense and on the careers of the veterans involved.”
