DESCRIPTION:
Invest in Veterans Week is an observance dedicated to recognizing and promoting the value of investing in veterans as individuals and as integral contributors to the workforce. It highlights veterans' skills and experiences in the business world and the importance of supporting their transition from military to civilian life.
Invest in Veterans Week developed from contemporary efforts to support veterans and is co-created by veteran entrepreneur and speaker Jeff Shuford. The observance gained momentum in recent years, particularly with increasing awareness of the challenges veterans face in the job market and the unique assets they offer. Various organizations, including veterans' groups, business communities, and government entities, participate in this week by holding events, workshops, and campaigns to foster a better understanding of the veteran workforce.
WHO IS A VETERAN
A veteran has served in their country's military, navy, air force, or Marines. Veterans include individuals who have served in peacetime and wartime in any capacity, regardless of the length of their service. Veterans often return to civilian life with many skills and experiences that can benefit the business world.
ADVANTAGES OF SUPPORTING AND EMPLOYING VETERANS
Employing veterans offers several advantages for businesses:
Leadership and Teamwork Skills:
Veterans are often trained in leadership and teamwork, having worked in environments that require a high level of coordination, discipline, and the ability to make critical decisions under pressure.
Diversity and Inclusion:
Hiring veterans contributes to a diverse and inclusive workplace. Veterans come from various backgrounds and bring varied perspectives and experiences.
Strong Work Ethic:
Military service instills a strong work ethic, emphasizing dedication, responsibility, and meeting high standards.
Problem-Solving Abilities:
Veterans learn to assess situations, adapt to changing circumstances, and find practical solutions to challenging problems.
Technical and Specialized Skills:
Many veterans have advanced technical training and specialized skills transferable to civilian jobs.
Reliability and Integrity:
The military environment fosters dependability, integrity, and honesty— highly valued business traits.
Government Incentives:
Employers may be eligible for government incentives, such as tax credits, for hiring veterans.
Invest in Veterans Week spotlights these advantages and encourages businesses to consider veterans proactively in their hiring practices, partnerships, and as entrepreneurs. By investing in veterans, businesses support those who have served their country and benefit from their exceptional skills and experiences. This observance plays a critical role in bridging the gap between military and civilian employment, highlighting the mutual benefits of hiring veterans in the workforce.
