Veteran Jobs Mission (Repeated Session)
Description
It began in 2011 as the 100,000 Jobs Mission with 11 leading companies committed to hiring 100,000 veterans by 2020. Since then, the coalition has evolved to 200+ leading member companies that represent virtually every industry in the United States economy. The coalition has been renamed the Veteran Jobs Mission and has collectively hired more than 488,000 veterans. How did they do it, and what advice do they have for Veterans job seekers?
