ABOUT THE PARTNERSHIP

Two Systems, One Purpose

pepelwerk connects people to meaningful work based on skills and attributes ? not just resumes. MSSA does the same for veterans stepping into tech: a 17-week, remote training program that turns military-built discipline, adaptability, and technical aptitude into industry-recognized credentials for cloud development, cloud administration, and cybersecurity roles.

Together, pepelwerk's AI-powered career matching and MSSA's structured training give veterans two things most transitions lack: a clear technical skill path, and a way to show employers what that skill is actually worth.

Why It Matters

Military experience already includes the leadership, adaptability, and technical exposure employers are looking for — a traditional resume just doesn't show it. This partnership exists to close that gap: MSSA builds the technical credential, and pepelwerk makes sure the right employers see what that credential represents.
