Many companies pay little more than lip service to helping military veterans obtain civilian employment.
But one company is pledging significant revenues and hiring commitments to help the veteran cause.
Continuum, a leading MSP software and services provider based in Boston, MA, is donating eight percent of all new revenue from its expanded Service Desk offerings to the Continuum Veterans Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization established by the company with the expressed mission of supporting the transition of former military personnel to civilian careers.
Continuum Rallies Tech Industry to Hire Returning U.S. Veterans
Roughly 1 million U.S. veterans are returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. How will those U.S. veterans find jobs - especially amid such a weak U.S. job market?
