Hiring Our Heroes

The Hiring Our Heroes Military Spouse Program team is hard at work building what will be an incredible celebration of leadership, legacy, and impact. As we prepare for the 10th Annual Military Spouse Employment Summit, we’re reflecting on a decade of progress made possible by cross-sector, mission-driven leaders from business, government, nonprofits, and the military community who chose to turn challenges into solutions. Over the last ten years, this movement has helped reshape how employers think about talent, mobility, retention, and opportunity for military spouses. That kind of progress does not happen by accident. It happens when committed people stay in the fight together. We’re excited to honor that legacy, spotlight the leaders driving change, and help chart the next decade of progress. You can join us in-person or virtually.

Veterans don’t stop serving when they leave the military. Many just choose a different path. For some, that path is small business ownership. It’s not easy. It takes discipline, resilience, and a willingness to keep going when the stakes are high. But it’s also a powerful way to continue serving—by creating jobs, strengthening communities, and driving our economy forward. That’s why I’m excited for the Hiring Our Heroes Small Business Awards, sponsored by FedEx Founder's Fund, on April 29. We’ll recognize outstanding veteran and military spouse entrepreneurs and support their growth through grant funding. Join us in person in Washington, D.C., or online to celebrate their work and hear their stories: https://lnkd.in/e4UQ2gSc #HiringOurHeroes #SmallBusiness #VeteranEntrepreneurs #MilitarySpouses #FedExFoundersFund

SkillBridge creates that same opportunity for transitioning service members. There’s no doubt the military builds leadership, problem-solving ability, and resilience. But how those skills translate in a business setting is a different question. That’s why SkillBridge and the Hiring Our Heroes Fellowship Program matter. They create an experiential bridge. Companies evaluate talent in real-world environments. Service members evaluate fit. A true win-win. If you’re a transitioning service member or an employer ready to engage, connect with the Hiring Our Heroes team. #HiringOurHeroes #SkillBridge #VeteranEmployment #FutureOfWork
