Nathan is an ex-Marine Corps who served in the Military Systems Data Management field, equipping him with valuable software skills. Through VSP?s partnership with the Vet-Net Program in El Dorado Hills, now Nathan works as QA Software Testing intern at VSP.
?The help that I received from the Vet-Net program and VSP was invaluable. From improving my resume writing skills and job search techniques, to a mock interview with an actual Human Resources Recruiter, my job search was immensely improved by the assistance and support they provided. I would not be employed today without them. Thank you so much for supporting Veterans.?
Engaging with Veterans
As we honor our veterans this month with Memorial Day, our focus turns to those who have served and are serving in all branches of the military. But what happens after Memorial Day? How do we honor our veterans throughout the year?
VSP Global is determined to engage with veterans throughout the year to help with decreasing the ever-rising unemployment rate veterans face. VSP Recruiters have partnered with the United States Army both nationally and locally, to bring veterans and their families employment opportunities and skills to use in the workplace.
Why Now?
As VSP Global expands, it is becoming more important to keep the company grounded and immersed in local communities, and we feel it?s crucial that employers reach out to a sector of our society that?s often overlooked. There are approximately 5.1 million Gulf War Veterans circulating back into civilian life and needing work, and local businesses can help.
National Level
VSP Global has partnered with the U.S. Army on a national level through the Partnership for Youth Success program (PaYS). VSP now has the ability to reach out to qualified U.S. Army veterans with skill sets that help fill talent gaps within VSP companies. Candidates are guaranteed an interview with VSP after discharge, giving them valuable face time with a potential employer. This partnership also opens doors for VSP to access other transitioning veterans throughout theU.S.
Why the Army?
The army was targeted as VSP?s first military recruitment endeavor due to the various military optical occupational specialties ? operating 25 optical labs globally to produce the lenses and technology needed to manufacture glasses, goggles, telescopes, and gun scopes. Not to mention, 30% of the armed forces require glasses!
Community Level
On a community level, VSP has partnered with the California EDD Vet-Net program by helping to create an 8-week workshop in Placer County to assist veterans, like Nethan Jenan, and their spouses in their efforts to return to work. The workshop teaches resume-building skills and interview techniques, and targets veterans specifically within the local community. VSP has partnered with other local employers to offer feedback and guidance to these veterans as they work through this program.
