Summary

Operation Giving Back, launched by Elastic in September 2021, offers free training on Elastic products to U.S. veterans and active duty military personnel, aiming to enhance their technical skills and ease their transition into the tech industry. The program provides access to various expert-designed courses, enabling participants to work with Elastic's data management tools effectively. With over 600 active participants, the initiative has reportedly helped many, like Tanner Greeb, advance their careers by making Elastic tools more user-friendly and enhancing their professional capabilities. Beyond training, Elastic supports the military community through networking opportunities, career support, and resources like Skillbridge and Hiring Our Heroes. The Elastic Community encourages veterans to connect globally for resources, support, and knowledge sharing, enhancing their transition from military to civilian careers.
