White Paper Excerpts:

Military Candidates… one of America’s Greatest Values
The United States is home to 26 million military veterans. Each of these individuals gave part of their lives, and often sacrificed their physical and mental health, in service to our country. Though they rarely ask for it, and generally believe they were just “doing their job”, these great Americans deserve our thanks.

They also deserve our support as exiting service members transitioning from military to civilian careers.

New veterans are added daily to our population. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, approximately 200,000 service members' transition to veteran status annually. And with a current military population of 1.4 million service members on active duty and 1.2 million service members in the Reserves…

Veterans will continue to transition to the civilian workforce over the coming years.

Service Members Bring Unique Skill Sets to the Civilian Workplace
Exiting service members are a talent pool of workers who are disciplined, skilled at overcoming obstacles and achieving objectives, they understand teamwork, accept responsibility for their actions, communicate clearly and live their lives with integrity; a perfect description of the kind of employee that corporate America is constantly seeking.
