01 — Sponsorship
Fund the Map.
Cosan Veterans documents the pathways from military service into the residential construction trades. Sponsorship sustains that work — the directory, the benefit education, and the map that keeps them current.
02 — The Gap
A Workforce in Waiting. A Trade in Demand.
The route from military service into a construction career is fragmented — scattered across hundreds of providers, with no single map. Sponsorship is what builds it.
200K+
Annual Transitions
Roughly 200,000 service members leave the U.S. military each year — many seeking work that draws on the skill they built in uniform.
9
Trade Categories
Residential construction spans nine major trades — carpentry to electrical to heavy equipment — each with its own apprenticeships and entry points.
51
Programs, One Map
We document 51 residential construction pathways and how GI Bill, VR&E, and state apprenticeship benefits apply to each route.
03 — What Your Sponsorship Sustains
Document. Educate. Connect.
Cosan Veterans is not a staffing agency, contractor, or employer. We document what already exists, translate it into something veterans can use, and connect the people building careers with the people building the industry. Sponsorship keeps all three running.
/ 01
Document
We catalog the training programs, apprenticeships, certifications, and pathways for veterans entering residential construction — kept in one place, current, and accessible.
/ 02
Educate
We publish plain-language education on how the GI Bill, VR&E, state apprenticeship registries, and industry certifications actually work — and how veterans apply the benefits they earned.
/ 03
Connect
We serve as a connection point between veterans, industry partners, training providers, and the donors who want to build the pipeline.
04 — Sponsorship Levels
Build the Map, Brick by Brick.
Sponsorship is a tax-deductible contribution that sustains the directory and education library. Choose a level — or ask about a custom or in-kind partnership. Businesses serving the trades may prefer the membership directory instead.
