As an INvets-powered initiative, Race To Hire Vets has set out to achieve what other veteran foundations have failed to do: Go past simply creating awareness for veterans transition struggles by creating an actual training platform that includes individual mentorship, hands on training and once in a lifetime opportunities.
Race To Hire Vets (Abbrev: RTHV) will identify deserving transitioning service members and veterans looking for a new career and help determine the best place to gain valuable skill in a field related to the power sports community by utilizing DOD SkillBridge programs and the RTHV Internship pipeline.
Race To Hire Vets is dedicated to actual life change of veterans by putting them in a position to prove themselves and establish permanent employment in the motorsports industry.
There are many challenges that military veterans face when adjusting to civilian life. These challenges are often followed with depression, questioning oneself and even suicidal thoughts.
We have found the racing community and the military mindset to be very similar. These similarities open an environment for success for both the veteran and the organization.

Race To Hire Vets is committed to providing an environment where veterans are trained to succeed, given the opportunity to prove themselves and most importantly valued for their absolute dedication. Not only will we help veterans, but we will create a talent acquisition pipeline of young adults to sustain the racing community for years to come.
INvets is a nonprofit organization founded by veterans that helps former service members transition to civilian life by connecting them with Indiana employers and providing career-building resources.
INvets was created to help companies find talent and connect veterans and their families to Indiana career paths and communities. We share Indiana’s story with veterans around the country and recruit critical talent to the state.
There are currently 420 employers on the INvets platform with over 735 locations, and these numbers are expanding every week. We have signed up over 5,800 veterans since January 1st, 2021 and Race To Hire Vets represents a key next step in our expansion and presence within all industries.
As the Executive Director of Race To Hire Vets, I would like to thank you for considering partnering with us in the mission of creating opportunities and changing lives. Having served for over 23 years, I know how crucial a program such as Race To Hire Vets can be for transitioning military members.
