The IVMF has designed a free, comprehensive career training, certification and employment program called Onward to Opportunity in conjunction Veterans Career Transition Program (O2O-VCTP).[11] This program is designed to launch veterans into their next career with more than 30 industry-recognized career tracks and courses.[12][13]

The IVMF provides programs in career, vocational and entrepreneurship education and training, providing service members, veterans and their families with the skills needed to be successful in education, work and life.[14] The IVMF also coordinates comprehensive collective impact strategies; and works with communities and nonprofits to enhance service delivery for veterans and their families.[15]

The IVMF joined forces with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ Center for Innovation (VACI) in early April 2017 for a national pilot project aimed at demonstrating the merits of a community-based health care and services coordinated referral system within the Institute’s AmericaServes initiative.[16][17][18]

In February 2016, JPMorgan Chase & Co. announced a renewed $13.8 million commitment through 2020 to support the IVMF.[19][20] Another $20 million gift was announced in 2018 by SU trustee Daniel D’Aniello, '68, and his wife Gayle to support the construction of the National Veterans Resource Center (NVRC).[21]
