The energy and infrastructure industry is our next tour of duty, and Iowa is one of the country's leading energy states. Your training, leadership, and discipline are exactly what this industry needs. The Project Vanguard Iowa Chapter helps you make the transition through education, mentorship, and a statewide veteran community.
Iowa is a national leader in energy production, and its veterans are uniquely built to lead the next chapter. The Foundation exists to educate and connect Iowa veterans to careers across wind, solar, biofuels, and the grid.
Veterans bring exactly what the energy industry is looking for: technical training, a safety-first mindset, the ability to lead teams under pressure, and a deep sense of mission. The same discipline that powered their service translates directly to wind, solar, biofuels, and the grid.
Watch how those who served are becoming one of the strongest sources of talent for the energy workforce, and why their next tour of duty is powering the country they swore to defend.
Connect with fellow veterans, energy leaders, and the Iowa chapter at events across the state. Below are the upcoming gatherings. More added regularly.
