“VetJobs has demonstrated exceptional support for veterans and the military-connected community, earning the organization one of the most prestigious awards possible in the VETS Indexes Employer Awards program,” said George Altman, president of VETS Indexes.

“Even as more organizations than ever before are recognizing the uniquely valuable skills that veterans bring as employees, the efforts of VetJobs to recruit, retain, develop, and support those who served, as well as their families, stand out from the pack. VetJobs is among the very best veteran employers, and its program can serve as a model for others.”

Rear Admiral Dan Kloeppel, CEO of VetJobs, expressed his pride in the recognition: “This award is a testament to the unwavering dedication of our team to empower veterans and military families. At VetJobs, we believe that those who have served our nation deserve not only gratitude but meaningful opportunities to thrive in their careers.”

Deb Kloeppel, Founder and President Emeritus of VetJobs, added: “Our mission has always been to bridge the gap between military service and civilian employment. This recognition underscores the impact of our efforts and inspires us to continue creating pathways for success for the military-connected community. We don't just talk the talk, we also walk the walk. Every member of our staff is military-affiliated. We believe that you cannot fully support the military community if you are not from the community.”

This year, a record total of 349 organizations completed and submitted surveys for the VETS Indexes Employer Awards, more than ever before! Of those participants, VETS Indexes recognized 294 organizations across the following award levels: 5 Star Employer, 4 Star Employer, 3 Star Employer, and Recognized Employer. Not every responding organization made the cut – only those that demonstrated a strong commitment to veterans, members of the National Guard and Reserves, and military spouses. Participating organizations included companies large and small, government agencies and departments, nonprofit groups, colleges, and universities.

As the most objective and comprehensive evaluation of veteran employers, the VETS Indexes Employer Awards program has set a new standard in veteran employment data.

About VETS Indexes: VETS Indexes is a leading voice on veteran employment issues, overseeing the VETS Indexes Employer Awards, hosting the Employing U.S. Vets Conference, unearthing unique and unprecedented data on veteran employment through the Veteran Employment Benchmarking Service, and developing custom indexes, linked to financial products, that track the performance of the publicly traded companies that have established themselves as the best employers for veterans.

The VETSX and VTRNIX indexes were created on the premise that the companies that make the best use of the highly talented, yet under-valued, talent pool that veterans represent will ultimately see a benefit to their bottom lines. The performance of the indexes has emphatically confirmed that thesis, regularly outpacing the S&P 500.

As the world’s first resource for U.S.-veteran-themed indexes, our mission is to provide innovative solutions that recognize the value created by the mission-critical mindset, unique skills, and specialized training that veterans bring to the workplace. Our mission also includes a commitment to always donate a significant portion (target of 20% and no less than 5%) of our net profits to charitable organizations that support veterans and their families.
