A word from our Partner of the Year, Travelers
Innovative thinking, creative problem-solving, attention to detail, resiliency and determination – those are just a few of the attributes we look for in prospective employees. And we have found the military community to be an exceptional talent pool to tap for those skill sets.
But being a military-friendly employer goes beyond seeking out talent. We understand how important it is to create a supportive environment and enable the success of our employees, which is why we maintain a robust suite of initiatives centered on helping military spouses and those with a military background. This includes programs like our military and veterans employee resource group that has more than 3,300 members, our comprehensive benefits for those deployed on active duty and our partnerships with organizations, like Code Platoon, that are helping veterans transition into civilian careers.
When it comes to our work with Code Platoon, we’ve been piloting a placement initiative that’s proven to be quite successful. Over the past year, we’ve hired a number of Code Platoon graduates into our Engineering Development Program, a one-year talent pipeline program that serves as the foundation for our Technology workforce. It contains four designated engineering tracks (software, cyber, data and infrastructure/cloud) designed to grow and develop technical capabilities. The program’s thorough and structured training approach features a combination of hands-on opportunities, immersive learning accelerators, and a mentoring component, providing a smooth transition into a corporate environment and a career in engineering.
Our Code Platoon graduates have been an excellent addition to the team here – they take initiative, embrace change, actively listen and support diverse points of view and, importantly, they celebrate each other’s success.
