Supporting veterans

We understand that veterans may face significant challenges as they transition back to civilian life or seek to balance their careers with continued service in the National Guard or Reserves. We are here to make this transition for veterans smoother.

Because our main offices are located in Northwest Florida’s military communities, a significant part of our workforce is made up of veterans, retirees, separated service members and veterans with disabilities.

To honor and thank veterans for their service, we established our Veterans Initiative, which commits to supporting veterans and helping military service members transition into civilian careers.

We offer employment opportunities directly aligned with the skills and expertise of veterans and are available to help veterans throughout their hiring and onboarding process.

Our commitment extends to professional development and providing our team members with opportunities to grow. Our employment services team works to remove barriers as service men and women return to civilian life. We strive to position all veteran team members for success throughout their employment journey. Accommodations and supports are available and are provided based on the individual needs of the veteran to ensure successful job retention.

We are also a designated Military Friendly® Employer and a VETS Indexes 4-Star Employer. Our Employee Resource Group named V.E.T.S. (Veterans Empowered through Support) provides information and support to improve the workplace experience for our team members with military backgrounds.
