The coalition, founded in 2011 as the 100,000 Jobs Mission,
began as 11 companies committed to hiring military talent across
the private sector. Membership is now over 250 companies with more
than 790,000 veterans hired across their industries. The latest
additions include: Albertson's, Aetna, AmeriVet Securities, Cox
Media Group, Evercore, Glowtouch, LittleOnline, Los Alamos National
Laboratory, SkillStorm, Skookum Contract Services.
“This coalition began with the recognition that we are united in
this mission to support veteran talent,” said Mark Elliott, Global
Head of Military and Veterans Affairs at JPMorgan Chase, a founding
member of the Veteran Jobs Mission. “Many of us are in the same
industries, but as members of this coalition, we look to understand
leading industry practices, our challenges and successes as we work
to harness the cutting edge talent coming out of the military. We
are all working to ensure that the entire military community is
supported in their transition to the private sector.”
New member companies commit to reporting their veteran hires on
a quarterly basis and advancing their veteran employment
initiatives with the support from their fellow coalition
members.
“Albertsons Companies is honored to be a member of the Veterans
Job Mission and committed to enrich and advance the careers of our
distinguished service members. This includes leveraging Veteran
Jobs Mission coalition best practices and establishing an
Albertsons Companies Veterans Associate Resource Group which has
grown to approximately 200 active members within two short months.
Our focus is on recruitment and retention strategies, recognition
programs, networking experiences and community outreach,” said
Colonel Rena Shiles, United States Army Retired and Chairperson of
Albertsons Veterans Associate Resource Group.
Long time members of the coalition are re-doubling their efforts
as the military increasingly turns out highly-skilled talent in
diverse fields, notably software and tech. While at the same time,
an increasingly remote and flexible work environment presents
strong opportunities for military spouses, who are historically
underemployed due to the demands of active duty military life.
“We’re honored to have so many military veterans, members of the
National Guard and Reserve components and military spouses at
Johnson & Johnson and we’d like to continue to see even more in
our ranks,” said Alex Gorsky, Johnson & Johnson Chairman and
CEO, and US Army veteran. “Veterans are strategic thinkers, and
decisive, results-oriented team leaders. In other words, they’re
just what we need at Johnson & Johnson to help us on our
mission to improve human health.”
The Veteran Jobs Mission looking forward to celebrating its
10-year anniversary with a special event in March 2022 in
Washington, DC where the coalition will announce plans to expand
its goals for the next decade.
