As more servicemembers continue to transition out of the military and into civilian life, it is important that we assist them into meaningful careers and not just into jobs. And while the unemployment rates among veterans continue to decline or remain stagnant, it is vital that we inform our transitioning servicemembers and veterans of all ages of the career opportunities within all sectors of the economy, especially the ever-growing and unique opportunities within the tech sector. As startups and innovative businesses continue to inundate the economy more and more each day, we need to ensure that veterans are made aware of the job opportunities within this sector, as well as the sector's need and desire for veteran employees. The flexibility these jobs offer, as well as the skills needed to be successful in these careers, make veterans an obvious fit for these positions and trades. We need to figure out how to connect these individuals to companies as well as get them into the necessary training programs to cover any skill gaps that may exist before entering the tech field. There is obviously a great potential in a working partnership between our Nation's veterans and tech companies, but we need to better work together to make this connection happen as early as possible.

Eleven companies cofounded the 100,000 Jobs Mission in 2011 to promote veteran employment, with a goal of hiring 100,000 veterans by 2020. The coalition has grown to over 175 companies, which have exceeded the initial goal and are now on track to hire 200,000 veterans by the end of 2014. These companies represent nearly every U.S. industry and vary in size, geographic location, and in the types of veterans they hire. Reflecting on the first three years of operation, JPMorgan Chase & Co. asked the RAND Corporation to capture the lessons and experiences from the 100,000 Jobs Mission to identify further improvements to veteran employment opportunities. RAND researchers conducted qualitative interviews with representatives of a sample of member companies, delving into the ways they recruit and hire veterans, help veterans transition into their new jobs, and manage and develop veteran employees and the value veterans bring as employees. Interviewees pointed out that veterans are most noted for their leadership skills and teamwork; for their flexibility and ability to work in a fast-paced, changing environment without undue stress; for their dependability, integrity, and loyalty; and for their experience working in a culturally diverse or global environment. This research also explored the challenges to hiring and employing veterans and provides recommendations to assist employers and promote veteran employment opportunities more broadly.
