Veteran Mentorship Program & 133rd Airlift Wing

This week we’ll discover a veteran mentorship program with Minnesota’s best companies and we’ll catch up with a Minnesota Airman just back from the Middle East. Guests include:

This week’s featured veteran is Marine Veteran Geraldo ‘Jerry’ Morales. Jerry is an accomplished Graphic Designer with over 10 years of creative experience. He has wide-ranging skills with expertise in project management, print production, vendor relations and marketing communications. He’s a critical thinker and effective problem-solver who works well under pressure, taking pride in the fact that he has never missed a deadline. Although he’s currently working freelance projects and working with a Veterans Service Organization as their Marketing Operations Manager, he would love the opportunity to join a company on a full-time basis where he can make a positive impact and be a valued asset.
