Forged By Valor, Inc. is a veteran-led 501(c)(3) non-profit and licensed private career school dedicated to a single mission: turning veterans into elite technicians.

We don't just teach a trade; we provide a bridge. Our organization is built on the belief that the discipline, precision, and resilience forged in military service are the exact qualities needed to revitalize the American industrial base. By providing top-tier welding and fabrication training, we ensure that those who served our country have a high-paying, purpose-driven career waiting for them when they return to civilian life.

Forged By Valor, Inc. was founded by Scott G. Quick and Benjamin M. Corke—two veterans who personally understand the daunting challenge of transitioning from a high-stakes military career to the civilian workforce. Scott, a U.S. Army veteran with five combat deployments, and Ben, a Marine Corps veteran, recognized a massive gap: while veterans have the discipline to succeed, they often lack a clear, supported path into specialized technical trades.

Having walked that path ourselves, we built this organization to provide more than just a certificate. We created a "mission-first" training environment where veterans can leverage their military work ethic to become elite, AWS-certified technicians. We understand the struggle of finding a new purpose after the uniform comes off, and we’ve dedicated ourselves to ensuring no veteran has to navigate that transition alone.
