Operation Code: connecting tech and veterans

Veteran's Day, known as Remembrance Day in many countries, is a time to honor military service members, and Operation Code, a nonprofit founded by ex-Army Captain David Molina, aims to assist veterans in transitioning to civilian life by lowering the barriers to entering software development. After Molina's personal experience with the limitations of the G.I. Bill, Operation Code was established in 2014 to provide veterans with online mentorship, education, and networking by leveraging open-source communities. The organization also advocates for policy changes to expand the use of G.I. Bill benefits for coding schools and boot camps, with Molina set to testify in Congress on this issue. Operation Code seeks to address the challenges faced by veterans, including unemployment and lower educational attainment, and aims to create a replicable model for global use. The initiative is supported by various ways, including scholarships, donations, and mentoring opportunities, and encourages tech conferences and code schools to participate in supporting veterans through education and employment opportunities.
