“MILITARY TIMES”
“Which colleges are best for Veterans? Those Offering Training And Support“
By Connie Mabin
“In San Antonio, No. 1 ranked University of the Incarnate Word’s Military and Veteran Center provides annual training and guidance to staff, faculty and students with a “Military 101″ course. Similar training is offered at No. 2 University of Texas at Arlington, where the Department of Military and Veteran Services hosts cultural competency training called “Serving Those Who Served.” Tenth-ranked California State University-San Bernardino offers employee training focused on military-related disabilities.
The schools that dominate the list had the staff training programs in common.
But they also support veterans as they transition from the military to college life, offering veteran-specific orientations, providing veteran-specific mentoring, veteran-specific financial aid offices, advocacy programs and help navigating into full-time careers.”

“Ensuring Support For The Military-Connected Community Is A Hallmark Of The Employer Rankings.“
By Andrew Welsh-Huggins
In 2023, the highest-ranking companies and agencies dedicated employees to veteran recruitment efforts and provided ongoing advocacy and assistance to veterans and their spouses, qualities that stood out among their peers.
The 2023 survey included 230 employer participants and aimed to provide a snapshot of where firms stand on employment policies, recruiting and hiring veterans with disabilities, overall hiring practices, and support services that bolster America’s veterans.
Participation in the company rankings is voluntary, and the final list is not meant to be a comprehensive accounting of the policies of all defense contractors and U.S. businesses
The rankings focus on areas of importance to veterans in the workplace, including mentorship programs, military-specific training opportunities, and connections with the veterans community.
