Guard, Reserves & Military Families

Services In Detail:
Guard, Reserves & Military Families

The military-connected community includes more than just veterans. Members of the National Guard and Reserves must balance full-time civilian jobs with military service, while military spouses face unique career challenges from being married to the military. Both groups need informed and supportive employers, and our team at Vetted Employers can help.

All of our services are offered either item-by-item or as multi-service package deals. And our custom package deals can include services from any category, based on your organization’s particular needs and budget.

The Business Case For Hiring Veterans

Forget public relations — the real reason organizations are recruiting veterans is that they’re simply better employees.

Veterans have led and founded many of the country’s most successful businesses, and their skills outclass those of their civilian counterparts in one area after another.

The bottom line is: Veteran employees make a difference that shows up in your bottom line. Here’s how:

  • Cutting-edge technical training from the military, in critical fields
  • Teamwork & Leadership
  • Mission-Driven
  • Responsibility
  • Problem Solving
  • Tenacity
