UnitedHealth Group Joins 100,000 Jobs Mission
UnitedHealth Group is joining the 100,000 Jobs Mission, a coalition of
major U.S. corporations that share the goal of hiring 100,000
transitioning service members and military veterans by 2020.
As a part of this commitment, UnitedHealth Group will actively recruit
military service members and veterans through targeted outreach and
hiring and recruitment events.
Our nations veterans have many characteristics highly valued by
UnitedHealth Group. They are motivated and highly skilled individuals
with a strong work ethic, said Rich Hughes, senior vice president,
Talent Acquisition, Development and Mobility. The 100,000 Jobs Mission
gives us another channel to recruit talented employees, and we are
grateful for the opportunity to support our military veterans who have
bravely served our country.
Joining the 100,000 Jobs Mission is one of many ways UnitedHealth Group
supports veterans and their families. UnitedHealth Group partners with a
variety of organizations to help source military and veteran candidates
such as the
Spouse Employment Partnership, RecruitMilitary and the Wounded
Warrior Project. UnitedHealthcare, a UnitedHealth Group company, is the
presenting sponsor of
2 Recovery, an organization supporting physical and psychological
rehabilitation programs for injured veterans, featuring cycling as the
core activity.
To date, 41 corporations have joined the 100,000 Jobs Mission and
collectively hired more than 12,000 veterans.
