Are you an employer?
Our Defense Alliance Program works firsthand with veteran talent and leading organizations to co-create better career outcomes and sustainable workforces alike.
Although the resettlement rate of ex-servicemen and providing career opportunities for their spouses have improved, the issue of underemployment has become a strong barrier to a meaningful post-service career. The current labor market is not only tight but continuously evolving as technology shifts and the post-pandemic style of work takes shape.
This is forcing employers to be more progressive and think outside of the box in their pursuit of talent. Military Veterans and spouses could be a seamless addition to any organization in any market. The traits that we seek in high performers, such as Leadership, accountability, passion, and resolve - traits that are not inherently teachable - are often found in our defense community.
Underemployment in post-service careers is a barrier to a meaningful career. There are many things’ organizations can do to attract and benefit from the veteran community. Our aim is to build more synergy with progressive employers who think holistically about their hiring goals and foster a work culture where veterans and spouses are understood and valued.
