Military Times: More veterans who go to college after the military could find themselves with jobs waiting for them after they get their diplomas, thanks to a new program.
The national nonprofit Student Veterans of America announced today that it is launching the Business and Industry Roundtable, a coalition of 23 large companies that are committed to hiring student veterans.
“What (companies) have told us broadly is, ‘We want access to veteran talent. Student veterans are a relatively untapped pool. One hundred thousand a year are graduating, and up until now, we haven’t been paying attention to them as part of our student undergraduate recruiting or our veteran recruiting,’” said James Schmeling, executive vice president of SVA.
