We started Jobs for Vets as a way of giving back to those who voluntarily serve in the United States Armed Forces. We understand the extraordinary sacrifice these brave men and women make on our behalf, and wanted to do something to help ease their transition back into private life once their active service has ended. Although we focus on finding opportunities for veterans of the United States Armed Forces, the positions listed through this site are open to all qualified applicants. If you have discovered this site, feel free to browse posted positions and apply to those that interest you.
The concept behind Jobs for Vets originated with the realization that matching transitioning veterans to companies that serve the military would be beneficial to both parties. Veterans transitioning from military service seek meaningful, interesting career opportunities in the private sector. Companies that serve the military want to find and attract veterans with experience using their products in the field. While the synergy between these two groups was obvious, our research showed no easy way to match qualified veterans with interested companies.
Quite simply, the goal of Jobs for Vets is to create a connection between veterans and employers that does not exist today. We are working with the cooperation and support of the US Department of Veterans Affairs, and have accepted the eager participation of our seven corporate partners:
Allstate Insurance Company
BAE Systems
The Boeing Company
Curtiss-Wright Corporation
Ford Motor Company
Northrop Grumman Corporation
Spencer Stuart
USAA
Through Jobs for Vets alpha, we hope to demonstrate that the concept works, both for veterans and employers. Armed with a successful alpha test, we believe that more companies will jump on board, offering a broader range of opportunities to veterans in transition.
Jobs for Vets alpha is operated by a team of volunteers. We charge no fees and make no money from the operation of this site, and we want to keep it that way. If you have thoughts or comments about the site or the Jobs for Vets concept, feel free to contact us at webmaster@jobsforvetsalpha.org.
