SMART Local 2 is proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our veterans, educating lawmakers, strengthening workforce inputs, and honoring service with opportunity. Programs like SMART Heroes demonstrate that when labor, contractors, and training institutions work together, we don’t just talk about supporting veterans, we deliver. SMART Local 2 engaged members of the Kansas Legislative Veterans Caucus, in hopes of expanding the SMART HEROS program to Kansas' very own Fort Riley.
At the center of our presentation was SMART Heroes. This program embodies the shared values of military service and the sheet metal trade: discipline, teamwork, skill, and pride in craftsmanship.

"The hearing was an excellent showcase of what SMART can deliver when it comes to providing real careers to our veterans when entering the private sector. We hope that this program expands, and Fort Riley, the BIG RED 1, is a prime opportunity for that. Right here in Kansas!" - Ty Dragoo

“When TD and Sheet Metal stand shoulder to shoulder in solidarity, we strengthen our power, drive growth, and secure collective success for every member. Today’s effort is another example of how working together directly improves the lives of Veterans by opening the door to excellent union careers.” - Jason Harrison
