can have critical consequences. However, despitetheir capabilities, not many veterans are currently working in STEM fields, leaving their talentslargely untapped [7]. This highlights the necessity for targeted programs that facilitate veterans'transition into hardware security and STEM careers.`In response to the pressing need for skilled hardware security professionals, this projectdeveloped an innovative experiential learning program: Veterans SkillBridge through Industrybased Hardware Security Training and Education (VETS-HASTE). Grounded in cognitiveapprenticeship theory, VETS-HASTE addresses the specific needs of hardware security,emphasizing hands-on engagement, real-world problem-solving, and mentorship fromexperienced professionals

The reason for this is (a) Data science will drive every type of business, and (b) TheArmy on a continuous basis, will need skillful personnel ( data engineers, analysts and scientists )to embrace its growth in emerging analytic

In the contextof this project, student veterans received academic, professional, and financial support thathelped them succeed academically and prepare them for a career in the STEM workforce. Asadult learners, students in this learning community were a vital part of the curriculumdevelopment which resulted in increasing the students’ interest and buy-in.

A unique approach adopted by the airlines to address thischallenge is to look for non-traditional sources such as retired military and veteran rotary wingpilots. This led to a growing shortage of helicopter pilots in the medical transport and offshore oilsupport industries [2]. This challenge also opens new opportunities and career pathways forveterans. Additionally, special training and experience requirements for certificated flightinstructors (CFIs) to be able to provide flight instruction in the Robinson R22 and R44 variantsmake it cost-prohibitive for most military helicopter instructors to
