CAREER LEARNING & EMPLOYMENT CENTER FOR VETERANS d/b/a OPERATION: JOB READY VETERANS

Operation: Job Ready Veterans™ was founded in 2007 by a small group concerned about the growing plight of veterans as they attempted to transition to the civilian workplace. The organization began as the Crane Learning and Employment Center for Veterans with Disabilities – with a focus on helping veterans find employment at Naval Surface Warfare Center – Crane, located in Southwest Indiana.

As the business grew to serve veterans in Central Indiana, the group changed its name to the Career Learning and Employment Center for Veterans with Disabilities (CLEC). CLEC is a 501(c)3 organization. In 2012, the company decided to open its program to all veterans and modified its name to the Career Learning and Employment Center for Veterans. However, serving veterans with disabilities remains a priority. In 2013, CLEC also adopted a d/b/a: OPERATION: Job Ready Veterans.
