Kindbridge Research Institute

🎖️Today is National Hire a Veteran Day! This day is a reminder to consider the many military personnel transitioning out of service for civilian employment. With our Military Research Associate Program, we've assisted veterans transition from military service to advanced training in mental health treatment and research. Thanks to Mark Lucia, our first Military Research Associate, for helping develop the program that has gotten him admissions into 4 of his top choice schools – John Hopkins, Columbia, GWU, and BU. Mark is also head of our newly formed Military Gambling Awareness Committe which aims to enhance gambling resources for the US military and its service members by working closely with the US Department of Defense. Hiring veterans like Mark brings unique perspectives, leadership, and a strong work ethic to any organization. #BeKindbridge #MilitaryResearch #HireAVeteran
