The U.S. Department of Labor recently reported that the unemployment rate for post-9/11 military veterans dropped to 4.2 percent in 2017 – one of the lowest rates since 2007. And while much is being done to support our nation’s most recent veterans, many steps still need to be taken to remove the roadblocks to employing those who fought for our country.
My journey working closely with veterans began nearly four years ago when Mark Testoni, president and CEO of SAP National Security Services (NS2) came to me with the idea to recruit, train and find employment for post-9/11 veterans through the program now known as NS2 Serves.
