Helping Veterans and Businesses Succeed Together: A Market Based Approach

They are young; they are disciplined; they are among the most resourceful, successful workers on the planet.  While risking their lives, America’s military veterans have shown what dedication, a strong work ethic and real teamwork can accomplish when brought to bear on a clear mission.  It makes no sense that 21 percent of young, returning veterans remain unemployed.  

There are, of course, many reasons why this chronic problem persists, but they come down to these: Employers do not know how to source, train and integrate veterans into their operations, while returning veterans are ill-prepared for the transition to the civilian workforce.  Through its services, Veterans2Work is creating the means by which companies can tap the full productive potential of our nation’s veterans while at the same time providing veterans with the support they need for a successful career launch—and beyond.  

Veterans2Work (a veteran-run, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization) was founded in 2008 to help returning and disabled U.S. military veterans—those facing the most daunting re-entry challenges—successfully transition to post-military careers.  For veterans placed directly with partner employers or those directly hired into our own services company, V2W provides training, on-the-job and career support tailored to meet the needs—and accentuate the strengths—that belong uniquely to veterans—all within the context of a competitive business operation focused on delivering business results.

Businesses get their needs met without having to go out of their way to tap veterans’ full productive potential. Veterans2Work accelerates and concentrates the productive collaboration of veterans and businesses by providing the “missing” ingredients that each needs: for veterans, training, on-the-job support and career development; for businesses, competitive, turnkey solutions for business. By creating a showcase for the collaboration of veterans and businesses V2W hopes to encourage and support emulation in other sectors of the U.S. economy.
