Our Fellows
The Honor Foundation admits only the most qualified and focused military talent into our program. Our
admitted Fellows together represent diverse backgrounds, formal education & skill sets, interests, life
experience and varied expertise. While in our classrooms they continue to learn from not only one another,
but also prestigious faculty and in house executives. Everyone is constantly gaining new experience from
each other. Fellows admitted into our program are motivated to discover the answer to two very important
questions, how can I add value to a new organization and when can I start?
THF Fellows are ready to lead and ready to follow at any level, bringing unique and relevant skills to your
business, no matter the industry. The SOF community holds themselves to the highest standard of discipline,
character and integrity. Our Fellows can’t be found anywhere else in the world. The value of their career
training and professionalism can not be measured by any ordinary standards.
Members of the Special Operations Forces community have been shaping the business world around them
for decades. Now, our Fellows wish to make a difference in your organization. By recruiting with The Honor
Foundation you are placing your organization at a serious advantage over your competition. Hiring top military
talent does not need to be a complicated process for your organization. We have prepared them for your
industry, company and hiring process. ­­Once they reach the Honor Point, they will be the most focused
military candidates in transition on the market, period.

The Honor Point
Our graduates see the big picture.
The United States Government has invested billions to discover them, train them, and formally educate this
community. These individuals were selected for this military community for their ability to think outside the
box and entrepreneurial spirit. Over their career they were equipped with executive skills to manage a global
organization -- a career constant being professional development and technical training.
The Honor Foundation, being the next phase in their career pipeline, prepares and pushes these individuals
even further. With the help of our Employer Partner’s, top business schools, elite faculty, CEO’s, senior hiring
executives, leading entrepreneurs, and the best in executive education, our graduates will be the most focused
military professionals entering the workforce.
Once they graduate and become a program Fellow, they’ve arrived at The Honor Point.
Once arriving at this point, they will be expected to take the tools we’ve provided them, work with us and
explore our professional network, and create a new strategic way forward.

Long Term Partnerships
The Honor Foundation is no different than a top tier business school looking to place their grads into the
right careers, for them and your business. We are looking to build long­-term Partnerships with organizations
so that we may constantly understand your needs, and build a strategy around your resources, so you can
achieve the perfect hires for the available positions. THF is operating under a 501(c)(3) status. We provide
a unique transition program to a laser focused niche market, the Special Operations Forces community.
Our program process specializes in executive education, career coaching and professional development. We
prepare our Fellows for a new career transition, plain and simple.
Hiring the right veterans can be a challenge for any organization. Our team has built a system and process for
your organization to understand the different skill sets of our Fellows. Your organization has a distinct culture
and we hope to work with you in order to find you a good match. We wish to understand your business and
where our Fellows can add value. As a result of our process, our Fellows experience tremendous growth
and self­-awareness surrounding their next career choice. If we say they are interested in your company we
mean what we say. Our process makes it simple for you to quickly understand the skill sets and executive
experience behind each of our Fellows and how it relates precisely to your business needs. What used to
be a complex problem for organizations, to acquire talent from the Special Operations community, is now
seamless.
Our graduates will be the most focused military
professionals entering the workforce.

however the integrity of your business does matter. Our Fellows have integrity. They will only add sound
leadership and character to your organization.

The Honor Foundation Employer Partner Advantages
Success in recruiting with The Honor Foundation is linked to a number of factors, including your organization’s
brand visibility throughout our classrooms, events, website and social media campaigns. What’s most important
to THF is your organization’s hiring history with veterans and the quality of interaction your organization
wishes to have with our Fellows as they transition. We have outlined below several recommendations that we
hope will inform you on our recruiting strategy. As always, we are here to fill the needs of your organization
by matching them with our qualified graduates. We are always available to customize and add to the following
suggestions for our Employer Partner’s.
Mentorship
The Honor Foundation has interacted with hundreds of individuals from the SOF community. Once your
company becomes an Employer Partnership we will pair each Fellow with a member of your team for a one­-
on-­one advocacy opportunity. Prescribing a senior executive to work alongside our Fellows is a high priority
for The Honor Foundation. Members of the Special Operations Community are not just elite military in
transition, they’re executives in training. The Mentorship Program allows for lasting Partnerships to take place
while our candidates are in an active state of transition,­one professional to another. While the The Honor
Foundation continues to focus on long term growth, we are partnering with platforms such as Salesforce and
MentorMint, in order to build a massive database of up to 65,000 SOF members by 2020, and to pair over
800 Fellows with numerous mentors by 2018.
Visit Our Classroom!
As an Employer Partnership, strengthen your presence with our Fellows by joining us in the classroom! Our
program is strongly rooted in executive education not only to educate and equip our Fellows for their next
career but also to provide a learning opportunity to our Employer Partners. Sending a representative from
your organization to THF will allow our Fellows the opportunity to connect with you outside of your office
and inside an open learning environment allowing for your organization to learn from our participants and vice
versa.
Become Faculty of The Honor Foundation
The Honor Foundation encourages our Employer Partner’s to present their industry expertise to our Fellows.
We continue to recruit thought leaders, industry experts, and top entrepreneurs in order to constantly
innovate our curriculum for our Fellows. Our current faculty works within leading business schools, Fortune
companies, CEOs of small to medium businesses and run national service organizations. These folks all bring
real-world knowledge into our classrooms so that our Fellows receive market, ready ­to ­apply information.

Leadership, Operations, Management ­­Our Fellows know Business

the best training that can’t be found anywhere else in the world. Our Fellows throughout their career have
partaken in leadership development courses, management courses, and technical training. Even the extent of
their formal education is unknown to most employers. Once an Employer Partner, our Fellows will deliver a
presentation to your organization outlining the technical experience and training that are very common among
members of the Special Operations community.
Coffee Convo
The Honor Foundation is not promoting caffeine (although we sure use it a lot) what we are promoting are

meetings are informal and can be arranged at any local venue. For venue recommendations please contact us.

all organizations understand their hiring needs during our scheduled programs and that additional hiring needs
may surface on a moments notice. No matter what your situation, The Honor Foundation is here to make the
connection between your organization and our Fellows as easy as possible. The
Hosting a Job Fair? Let us Know!
