BROOMFIELD, Colo., May 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Military Times
selected global telecommunications provider, Level 3
Communications, Inc. (NYSE: LVLT), for its "Best for Vets:
Employers 2017" rankings. The selection helps veterans and their
families identify corporations with a culture and policies
supportive of veterans. This is Level 3's fourth time receiving the
designation.
Level 3's Focus on
Veterans:
- Level 3 actively recruits military talent at all levels by
participating in job fairs, visiting military bases and partnering
with schools, military workforce sectors and veteran-focused
programs.
- Level 3 employs veterans in diverse roles ranging from
entry-level to senior leadership.
- More than half of the participants in Level 3 training programs
like Ops Tech Academy and IP Bootcamp are veterans who have been
selected in part because of their military-specific skills,
attitude and aptitude.
- Level 3 provides a Veteran Employee Resource Group (VERG),
comprised of more than 650 members. The VERG advises the business
on how to best meet the needs of veteran employees and hosts a
variety of internal and external events where members can connect,
and create support groups and communities.
About the Award:
- In their eighth year, the Military Times Best for Vets rankings
comprise an editorially independent news project that evaluate
companies' culture, veteran recruiting, veteran policies, and
accommodations for members of the National Guard and reserves.
- Also included in the consideration set is a survey, consisting
of nearly 100 questions, used to analyze a company's efforts to
connect with veterans and provide an environment for success.
