Warrior Integration Program—Quick Start for Employers

Providing ready access to the productive potential of America’s returning veterans

The Quick Start program is designed for companies wishing to establish a platform for efficient, 

systematic access to the productive potential of veterans with limited prior experience or 

challenging circumstances such as disabilities.  Quick Start incorporates elements of our 

comprehensive Warrior Integration Program, with an emphasis on meaningful results in the 

short term while creating a solid foundation for long term success. 

The Warrior Integration Program is focuses on practical aspects of recruitment, hiring, training 

and assimilation of veterans whose limited prior experience, current circumstance or disabilities 

pose challenges to securing suitable, post-service employment.  These veterans already have 

the qualities that companies prize—discipline, teamwork, maturity—but their military experience 

doesn’t translate as compellingly as it does for officers and senior NCOs, whose job readiness 

is more apparent to employers.

Quick Start focuses on closing real and perceived productivity gaps that stand in the way of 

employers and target veterans quickly and efficiently establishing mutually productive 

relationships by:

 Assisting employers in developing, delivering and maintaining a framework for effective 

veteran hiring / engagement.

 Addressing the unique (re)integration needs of returning veterans, from recruiting, hiring 

and on-boarding to on-the-job effectiveness and disability and career management.   

Key features 

 Transition support to help returning and special needs veterans meet the challenges 

unique to them and get them as quickly as possible to full productivity.  

 Flexible program design to complement and build upon company-provided, project-

specific training and support.

 Cost recovery potential.  Program costs can be significantly offset by tax incentives 

other credits, (which will be entirely sourced and administered by Veterans2Work if 

requested)

 Results oriented.  We will help you hire and on-board your initial recruits via our 

proprietary databases, specialized job boards and a national network of more than 3,000 

veteran sourcing contacts.

 Ease of implementation.  Designed for minimal disruption to existing organization.  

 Public relations support.  We’ll help your marketing communications team get the 

word out.
