We believe that they deserve our best support as they make the transition back into civilian life. This includes:
- Understanding the many transferable skills they bring
- By assisting with and recognize that moving from military jargon to corporate language can be challenging
- By placing high value on their personal accountability, reliability, and results orientation they bring from their service experience
- And by providing comradeship and support within our Veteran Employee Resource Group
