The IHS has launched a Veterans Hiring Initiative with the goal of increasing veteran new hires from 6% to 9% over the next 2 years for an overall boost of 50%.
In addition to developing a public service announcement campaign, IHS is collaborating with other agencies to promote the effort. One partnership will be with the VA to sponsor federal recruitment events aimed at veterans. IHS will also partner with DoD to recruit separating active-duty service members through the Transition Assistance Program and marketing and media outreach campaigns. Finally, IHS will work with tribes in outreach efforts targeting tribal members who are active-duty or veterans.
IHS will be interviewing veterans who have successfully transitioned from the military to the IHS or tribal positions and will post those stories on the IHS and partners’ websites.
