Digital Edge Pledges to Continue Hiring Veterans with Our New Hero 2 Hired Partnership

Digital Edge is pleased to announce our newest partnership with the Department of Defense’s employment initiative: Hero 2 Hired (H2H)!

The H2H organization is more than another virtual job database, this organization is on a mission to say “thank you” to members of the National Guard, Reserve Component and Military Spouses by leading them toward real careers. Because employing veterans and their families has been an essential part of our hiring strategy, this Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program directly mirrors the Digital Edge value!

We view the IT services industry as an excellent career transition for military affiliates. International active duty service members and veterans presently account for 7% of the Digital Edge staff.  It is with great privilege and honor that we continue to recruit the men and women who have dedicated their lives to protecting our nation’s freedom.

We provide our veteran military staff with the training and advancement opportunities needed to continue their careers. Digital Edge values and welcomes the limitless contributions our veterans bring into the workplace. As our government continues to emphasize the importance of employing veterans, there is no better time to form this valuable partnership. With our new H2H alliance, we hope to deepen our commitment to HIRING OUR HEROES and encourage other organizations to do the same.

Digital Edge has developed partnerships with the following military support groups:

  • U.S. Chamber of Commerce
  • Hero 2 Hired
  • Hiring Our Heroes
  • National Guard
  • Coalition to Salute America’s Heroes
  • Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve
  • Wounded Warrior Project
  • HireVeterans.com
  • American GI Forum
