Employer Partnerships: Hire Veterans & Military Talent

Build a Stronger Workforce. Open Doors for Those Who Served.

Veterans and transitioning service members bring valuable leadership, technical expertise, adaptability, and problem-solving skills to the civilian workforce. Connecting that experience with the right employment opportunities benefits both military professionals and the businesses that hire them.

Through our Veteran-Friendly Employers initiative, Bridging the Gap for Veterans connects businesses with veterans and transitioning service members pursuing civilian careers. We work to build relationships with employers who recognize the value of military experience and want to expand employment opportunities for those who served.

Whether your company is actively hiring or looking to strengthen its veteran recruitment efforts, an employer partnership offers an opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

Why Partner With Bridging the Gap for Veterans?

Military experience develops skills that apply across a wide range of civilian industries. However, translating military qualifications into civilian job requirements is not always straightforward.
