What has your company done to hire and retain more veterans and/or help them transition?

My company is looking to hire since it is growing very, very quickly. I also know they have a huge emphasis on diversity, with a definite focus on veterans. In fact, the reason I work there is because another veteran is actively recruiting veterans. http://www.mopro.com/

My company, Sandia National Laboratories, started a program specifically designed to assist combat injured/disabled veterans. They used Oracle's successful similar program as their model. It's called the Wounded Warrior Career Development Program. I have attached a link, but the short story is that it offers positions supporting SNL's different missions. If you meet the requirements of the program, you are only competing against other "wounded warriors" for positions. The goal is to provide the veteran with training and education opportunities in order to help them establish a successful post-military career.

My company (Microsoft.com) is very active within the veteran hiring realm of activities. In fact, this week I'll be attending the Centurion Military Alliance's (CMA) 4th Annual MEGA Warrior Transition Readiness Workshop out at Randolph AFB, helping transitioning veterans better prepare for their upcoming civilian life. Not only are we donating our time, but my employer will also be converting the time we're volunteering into money and matching it for a financial donation to this military non-profit.
