ABOUT THE VALUE OF A VETERAN
Founded in 2007, The Value Of a Veteran is a human resources training and consulting firm that specializes in educating employers on how to recruit and retain veterans. It was the first company to create commercially available comprehensive training expressly for employers, human resources professionals and hiring managers that covered all aspects of veteran recruitment and retention.
Its content is the only one available that was developed by someone with both significant military experience AND staffing/recruiting experience, making it both relevant and realistically actionable for recruiters and managers to implement.
