QL+
They identify veterans with disabilities who would like to have a device made that will help them in their active or everyday lives. If QL+ selects their project idea, they’ll assign it to one of 24 college engineering partners, whose students then make it as part of their Senior Design Project. (The University of Dayton is one of our partner schools, as is University of Cincinnati and Ohio University.)
The process lasts through the academic year. The fall semester is spent on design, while the spring semester is focused on building and testing the device. The veteran/first responder will be kept apprised of the progress and will offer suggestions on the design and fit.
They’re always on the lookout for new Challengers (what they call the veterans and first responders we work with). Everything is free.

Are you an active duty wounded, ill, or injured service member looking for an internship opportunity?
Operation Warfighter (OWF) is a Department of Defense internship program that matches qualified wounded, ill, and injured service members with non-funded federal internships in order for them to gain valuable work experience during their recovery and rehabilitation. This process assists with the service members’ reintegration to duty, or transition into the civilian work environment where they are able to employ their newly acquired skills in a non-military work setting.
