Have you participated in the 100,000 jobs mission.

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.

SSG Izzy Abbass - as you and I have discussed in person a couple of times over the past year, the key point to this is your first option in the survey: are you still with the company after 6 months - or even a year. Retention is vitally important in this endeavor - something that hasn't always been a priority for companies participating.
