“Workshops for Warriors and Vetpower together have trained over 2,000 veterans. Created over a 100 full time jobs in San Diego”
MISLEADINGSaid in 3 broadcasts
What the record shows
Workshops for Warriors trained 1,609 veterans (per official impact page); combined WFW and VetPowered employ approximately 72 full-time staff in San Diego. WFW placed 1,057 veterans into jobs nationally.
Claim overstates veterans trained (2,000+ vs. 1,609 documented) and conflates job placements with jobs created in San Diego. VetPower is primarily a contractor, not a training program.
