The University joins coalition of companies
pledging to make hiring veterans in their organizations a priority
in Veterans Day Nasdaq Opening Bell ceremony
Today, University of Phoenix, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Apollo Education Group, a publicly traded company, announced it
will have the honor of joining Nasdaq and more than 60
international companies in the Nasdaq Opening Bell ceremony on
Veterans Day, Nov. 11, 2015. Each of the companies participating in
the ceremony will take a pledge to make hiring veterans in their
organization a priority.
“As Veterans Day approaches, we recognize the sacrifices and
service of our military—both past and present—to which we owe a
debt of gratitude,” said Spider Marks, executive dean, University
of Phoenix College of Security and Criminal Justice, and a retired
Army General. “In the next two years the U.S. Army alone will see a
drawdown of 40,000 service members—that’s 40,000 of our nation’s
heroes returning home to look for a new career. We are proud and
honored to join this coalition, and we urge companies across the
country to strongly consider hiring more veterans, not just as we
celebrate Veterans Day, but every day.”
Organized in collaboration with Nasdaq and Thayer Leader
Development Group at West Point (TLDG), the Veterans Day bell
ceremony is part of an effort to recognize more than 60 publicly
traded companies that have pledged to make hiring veterans a
commitment in 2016.
Currently, University of Phoenix has 182 open positions
including student account analysts, data architects and web
developers in the areas of Phoenix, Sacramento and Chicago.
