The article describes HHS’s “100 Veterans in 100 Days” initiative and its SkillBridge partnership with the Department of War, both intended to broaden veterans’ access to HHS career opportunities and support transitioning service members’ civilian employment.
Approach:
100 Veterans in 100 Days: HHS’s Office of Human Resources will provide training, guidance, recruitment resources, technical assistance, and connections with veteran talent to increase awareness of HHS career opportunities.
SkillBridge partnership: Under an MOU with the Department of War, HHS will join SkillBridge. Approved transitioning service members can undertake internships, apprenticeships, and industry training during their final 180 days of military service, gaining civilian work experience at HHS.
Hiring barriers: HHS components will refer recurring or department-wide barriers to recruiting and hiring veterans to the Office of Human Resources, which will identify and address them.
Key Findings:
