Employers with dedicated veteran programs

Transitioning to civilian life after a military career can present its challenges. Luckily, many companies recognize that. In addition to the job skills obtained during your time in the military, many employers appreciate the discipline and values held by #veterans!

Some companies go above and beyond to help military members by providing extra resources and specific programs dedicated to those who have served and their families. I’ve included a few below, take a look!

  1. Walgreens Resources: Walgreens offers numerous programs aimed to help veterans. One includes their HERO program, which involves management training, program support and one-on-one mentoring opportunities. They also offer military leave and bridge pay.

  2. Home Depot Resources: Home Depot has more than 35,000 veteran associates in their company and has an influential culture based on service. In addition to their benefits programs, they offer an associate-ran resources group to provide support for active and deployed members and their families. Since 2011, Home Depot has invested in mitigating veteran homelessness resulting in 45,000 homes and facilities built.

  3. UPS Resources UPS recognizes all that veterans can bring to the table. They offer multiple job opportunities that build on past military experience and embrace your unique skills. They offer comprehensive training and unmatched benefits.

  4. Ryder Trucking Resources Regardless of your career goals, Ryder is dedicated to helping you succeed. Their Veteran Buddy Program pairs military employees with new veteran drivers to help ease the transition between military and civilian life. They also offer a Pathway Home Diesel Technician Training Program that is designed to train “active duty military members for placement into a Technician position at one of the more than 800 Ryder service locations after #military service.”

I would also add that corrections tends to prefer military veterans. I was contacted by https://www.corecivic.com/ after retiring from the military. At that time I was starting on my second career in Mental Health. Now that I have education and licensure, I applied with them and was hired very quickly.

Great list! I would also add UnitedHealth Group and Wells Fargo. UHG has a military internship program and Wells Fargo has a whole host of special programs and resources. #UnitedHealth #WellsFargo
