Navient commemorates Veterans Day in New York City
November 07 2016 - 09:15AM
In celebration of Veterans Day, Navient will join more than 20
companies on November 11 in ringing the opening bell at Nasdaq.
Navient employees will also march in the Veterans Day Parade in New
York City.
Organized by Nasdaq, the Veterans Day Opening Bell ceremony is
part of an effort to recognize publicly traded companies that have
pledged to make hiring veterans a commitment this year. Somsak
Chivavibul, chief financial officer for Navient, will participate
in the event.
“On Veterans Day, it’s important to show our deep appreciation
for those who have worn the uniform and those who continue to serve
the country on our behalf,” said Chivavibul. “More importantly,
Navient remains committed to our pledge to hire and support
veterans every day.”
Navient was recognized as a Military Friendly Employer from the
publisher of G.I. Jobs magazine. Navient is also member of the
Veteran Jobs Mission, a coalition of companies committed to hiring
U.S. military veterans and military spouses. Navient employees will
march with the coalition in the annual Veterans Day Parade. The
parade steps off at 11:15 a.m. from Madison Square Park and
proceeds north on Fifth Avenue to 56th Street.
Clem Straker, a corporate compliance director, is one of the
employees who will march in the parade.
“Hooah!” said the U.S. Army veteran. “It’s a real honor to
represent Navient and other companies who are hiring vets and
supporting us on the job.”
To help job-seeking veterans, Navient attends several military
hiring events each year. A specialized veterans career site
features a skills matcher that allows applicants to login to their
LinkedIn account and easily find job openings that match their
background, education and experience.
Currently, Navient has open positions in customer service,
compliance, loan servicing, financial reporting, information
technology and more. The jobs are available at operations across
the country, including Austin, Texas; Nashville, Tenn.; Fishers,
Ind.; Western N.Y.; Wilkes-Barre, Pa.; and Wilmington, Del.
In addition to actively recruiting and hiring employees with
military experience, Navient offers benefits to employees serving
in the National Guard or Reserves. Navient’s emergency military
leave benefit allows employees to continue serving their country
while working at Navient. When an employee who is in the Reserves
or National Guard is activated in support of anti-terrorism and
peace-keeping operations, Navient pays, for up to 12 months, the
difference in the employee’s Navient base pay and military base
pay, and continues health care and other benefits for the same
period.
The company’s Veterans Resource Group provides recognition,
mentoring and development of veteran employees from the time
they’re hired and throughout their employment at Navient. Veterans
can take advantage of job-based training, tuition reimbursement and
various development programs.
As the nation’s largest student loan servicer, Navient also has
support and resources available to service members with student
loans. Navient proactively sends information twice a year to
military customers about their benefits. Navient hosts a military
financial education online course and navient.com/military, a
website for military members and their families. A military
benefits team is specially trained to assist military customers.

According to an employee survey, more than half of Navient
employees have either served in the military themselves or have an
immediate family member who has served. Navient employees have seen
combat in Vietnam, Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan and served in many
other overseas locations.
