ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
A Living Business School
Dog Tag creates a place where learning happens inside the business itself. The bakery, classroom, and daily customer experience give participants a supportive environment to build confidence, practical skills, and a clear next step.
Together, pepelwerk's AI-powered career guidance and Dog Tag's immersive model give participants two things most transitions lack: a real place to learn by doing, and a clear way to show employers what those skills look like in civilian terms.
