Verizon

Verizon proudly provides Veterans with career opportunities that reflect who they are and who they aspire to be—allowing them to make the most of their background and Abilities, and empowering them to learn, grow and realize their potential. With our vast range of career areas and locations, the possibilities for matching Veterans with the right position and place are endless. We continually support our Veteran employees with benefits designed to meet their educational, professional and personal needs supported by our Employee Resource Groups.

Veterans Advisory Board

We’re committed to better understanding and meeting the needs of our Veteran team members. To help achieve that goal, we’ve established the Veteran’s Advisory Board, which provides:

• Training, mentoring and transition support to existing and Veteran military employees
• Invaluable counseling to Verizon’s senior leadership and human resources department on Veteran-related issues – from Veterans’ rights and benefits, to educational opportunities, to financial assistance programs

Emergency Military Leave

Verizon supports our troops. That’s why we activated our Emergency Military Leave policy – a policy that exceeds the provisions in the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). Under our policy: * Verizon provides the difference between an employee’s base pay and the military base pay for up to 36 months * Verizon extends medical, dental, vision and group life insurance, along with service and pension credit for employees on military leave and eligible dependents on the same terms as for active employees

Recruitment Efforts and Partnerships

We’re actively partnering with a number of organizations to facilitate successful placements for transitioning military and veteran candidates. Through our involvement in inspiring initiatives like the “Hiring Our Heroes, 100,000 Jobs Mission, and Be a Hero, Hire a Hero” we enable our returning Veterans, military spouses, wounded warriors and the disabled to find a home in the corporate environment. We continue to make the most of our relationships with the following organizations:
