The V3 program is sanctioned by the Commonwealth of Virginia’s
Department of Veterans Services to help organizations implement
nationally recognized best practices in recruiting, hiring and
retaining highly skilled and dependable veterans. As part of the
certification process, Micron completed a training program and
submitted a formal Organizational Veteran Hiring Plan outlining the
company’s goal to invest in local veteran talent.
“This certification is indicative of our continued investment in
offering exiting military personnel the best opportunities
available to take on a new career path,” said April Arnzen,
Micron’s senior vice president, human resources. “While we are
committed to employing veterans at every level of our organization,
we are particularly proud of the fact that many of our veteran team
members are in leadership roles. This is a true indicator that
leadership qualities and skills honed during service are well
matched to success in the private sector.”
More than 10% of MTV site’s nearly 1,300 full time team members
are military veterans. Micron has also funded the creation of two
internal military service employee resource groups, providing
veterans with peer support opportunities to help diminish some of
the difficulties that transitioning to civilian life can bring. At
the corporate level, Micron connects with local military bases
across the country through TAP (Transition Assistance Programs) and
actively participates in the Hiring our Heroes program.
