General Electric recently announced its commitment to hiring 5,000 military veterans over the next five years, adding to the 10,000 veterans who are already employed there. A significant portion of those hires will contribute to its growing aviation unit—GE will be adding over 400 manufacturing jobs in the next year to jump start production at three new plants. In addition to this “Hiring Our Heroes” partnership, the corporation has also committed to sponsoring 400 veterans’ job fairs, alongside the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Other companies are also showing interest in hiring veterans. Five investment banks, including Bank of America, Citi, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, and Goldman Sachs, recently established VOWS—Veterans on Wall Street—an initiative dedicated to honoring and employing veterans in global financial services. Has your company considered a veteran hiring program for 2012?
