Understanding and Valuing Veteran Skills

For veterans transitioning to civilian careers, finding employers who truly understand and appreciate their unique skills is crucial. These employers recognize the discipline, leadership, and problem-solving abilities that veterans bring to the table, making them invaluable assets to any organization. Supportive employers go beyond just being military-friendly; they are military-ready. This means they actively seek to integrate veterans into their workforce, providing the necessary support and resources to ensure a smooth transition. By valuing veteran culture and skills, these employers help bridge the gap between military and civilian life. At MilitaryConnected.org, we emphasize the importance of connecting veterans with such employers. Our mission is to ensure that veterans find workplaces where their contributions are not only acknowledged but celebrated, paving the way for successful and fulfilling civilian careers.

The Work Opportunity Tax Credit program was enacted in 1996 and is a federal tax incentive that encourages employers to hire individuals from certain targeted groups who face significant barriers to employment. One of these groups includes qualified veterans. WOTC incentivizes companies to hire veterans, helping to reduce unemployment among veterans while providing financial benefits to businesses (up to $9,600 per veteran hire).

Employee referrals are effective because candidates get hired 55% faster, are 4 times more likely to be hired, and stay 46% longer. By extending referrals to the military community, you tap into trusted networks of an underutilized talent pool, speeding up hiring and enhancing team diversity and expertise.

You’re not alone. A study by CareerBuilder found that 71% of employers struggle to understand how military skills translate into job-specific requirements. MilitaryConnected’s team of military advisors can provide the human touch you need to have a more inclusive hiring process and leverage our AI-driven military occupational specialty (MOS) code translator.
