Our Culture : Our Company : GE
GE is honored to have over 10,000 U.S. military veterans continue their career with us. Building on our strong commitment to military veteran recruitment and development, we’re pleased to announce the launch of the GE Veterans Network.
The GE Veterans Network was established to bring greater visibility to GE's veterans and what GE has to offer for veterans. This year is the first annual gathering of the units and leadership that helped launch the Network.
The GE Veterans Network (GEVN) is a new addition to GE’s group of affinity networks and employee groups that allow employees with common backgrounds and interests to get to know colleagues inside and outside of their businesses, broaden personal and professional networks and give back to others.
The GEVN will create a community to support, develop and promote the unique characteristics of military veterans throughout GE’s businesses and local communities and also focus on fostering a culture inside the company that recruits, transitions, develops and retains veterans as an essential leadership pipeline at GE.
"Military veterans have grown to be a sizable group of employees at GE and we want to give them the opportunity to communicate with and support each other as they navigate their career beyond the military," said GE’s Chief Diversity Officer, Deb Elam.
GE currently recruits military veterans through our Junior Officer Leadership Program (JOLP) as well as through hiring programs that target those finished with their active duty commitments.
