Capital One celebrates National Hire a Veteran Day

Posted

RICHMOND, Va. -- July 25 is National Hire a Veteran Day. Every year, approximately 200,000 men and women leave U.S. military service and return to life as civilians.

Capital One has partnered with Hiring our Heroes, NPower Inc., and the Bob Woodruff Foundation to help create career pathways for veterans.

Carl Ciovacco, a senior director at Capital One and Bronze Star Medal recipient, discusses tips for service members transitioning into the civilian workforce.
