SSG Izzy Abbass 801005 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>There are a number of efforts taking place to hire Veterans. Some, including the 100,000 Jobs Mission have greatly exceeded their numbers in hiring. The question I and many have is how many Vets stay with these companies beyond 6 months. Please take the survey and let us know if the company you joined had programs in place to support you and other Veterans. 2015-07-08T16:57:32-04:00 SSG Izzy Abbass 801005

Retention is vitally important in this endeavor - something that hasn't always been a priority for companies participating.
