There has been much negative news recently about the VA and the lack of care being given to veterans returning from service. Every month, thousands of former service members re-enter civilian life-and many face real challenges when trying to enter the workforce. The struggle of post-9/11 veteran is confirmed by an unemployment rate that is consistently higher than the national average.

It’s time to talk about the programs that are working to help military vets transition from combat boots to business suits.

Jade Harrell with Mark Testoni, President and Chief Executive of SAP National Security Services (SAP NS2) is also the President and Founder of NS2 Serves, a nonprofit organization that gives back to the community it serves by training and preparing veterans to enter the workforce. The unique 3-month NS2 Serves training program gives vets nationwide the necessary skills and employment placement assistance needed to begin a high-tech career.
