Coalition grows to 165 companies; Publishes Transition Field
Guide for Veterans
Companies in the 100,000 Jobs Mission hired a total of 161,752
U.S. military veterans through the second quarter of 2014. In
addition, the coalition has grown from 11 founding members to 165
companies that represent almost every industry in the American
economy.
“More companies have recognized the value of our coalition and
are stepping up to make a difference in the lives of our nation’s
veterans,” said Maureen Casey, Director of Military and Veterans
Affairs for JPMorgan Chase.
Helping Servicemembers through their Transition
The 100,000 Jobs Mission is committed to hiring veterans, but
also to helping servicemembers through their transition back to
civilian life. The recently published, “Transition Field Guide for
Veterans: Education, Employment and Entrepreneurship after
Service,” is a resource that helps transitioning military members
and veterans develop post-military career plans long before they
separate from the service. The Transition Field Guide outlines four
main paths toward meaningful employment: immediately entering the
job market, pursuing higher education as a path to employment,
obtaining helpful certifications or further training to increase
competitiveness, and tips on starting a business. Each path offers
a recommended timeline prior to transition as well as helpful tips
to consider along the way. Visit JobsMission.com to learn more.
Maureen Casey adds, “Our aim is to help position veterans for
success in their post-military lives through employment resources
like the Transition Field Guide.”
