At Amerit Consulting, we believe veteran employment is about more than just filling roles, it’s about unlocking potential. When military service ends, a new mission begins, finding meaningful civilian careers where veterans can thrive. As a service-disabled veteran-owned business, we understand this journey firsthand and we’re committed to making it smoother, smarter and more successful.
Each year more than 200,000 military personnel transition to civilian life, bringing with them exceptional skills in leadership, operations, logistics, cybersecurity and healthcare. Yet according to the U.S. Department of Labor, the unemployment rate for post-9/11 veterans has historically trended higher than their civilian counterparts (Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). Why? Because the civilian world doesn’t always know how to translate military experience into private sector value.
That’s where Amerit comes in.
Why Veteran Employment Matters
Veterans are often seen as disciplined and loyal and they are. But they’re also agile thinkers, strong communicators and collaborative leaders. They’ve worked in high-stakes environments, solved real-time problems and operated cross-functionally in diverse teams. When companies invest in veteran employment, they gain more than staff, they gain strategy.
Still, the transition to civilian work isn’t always simple. Common barriers include:
- Unfamiliar job markets and industries
- Difficulty translating military roles into corporate resumes
- Lack of tailored mentorship or career guidance
- Cultural differences in communication and team structure
Solving these challenges requires empathy, structure and a mission-aligned partner. That’s why Amerit’s veteran employment programs focus on long-term impact, not just short-term placement.
How Amerit Helps Advance Veteran Employment
At Amerit Consulting, we’re proud to support veteran employment from both sides, helping veterans find meaningful careers and helping employers tap into high-performing talent.
Our approach includes:
1. Tailored Job Matching
We don’t just scan resumes. Our recruiters, many of whom are veterans, conduct in-depth interviews to align military experience with roles in logistics, IT, healthcare and operations.
2. Employer Education
We help hiring managers understand what military roles actually entail. What does an E-7 with command responsibility mean in business terms? We translate military structures into civilian skill sets.
3. Ongoing Support
We provide onboarding guidance, cultural coaching and long-term career tracking. It’s not about placing someone, it’s about helping them thrive.
Veterans Are Ready for Today’s Workforce
Today’s employers need more than technical skills. They need resilience, adaptability and teamwork, traits that veterans demonstrate every day.
Veterans are especially well-suited for:
- Cybersecurity: Many have top-level clearance and are trained in information security
- Healthcare: Medics and corpsmen transition well into medical support roles
- Logistics and Operations: Military supply chain experience is directly transferable
- Project Management: Veterans have led teams, managed resources and executed complex missions
When you focus on veteran employment, you’re not just filling a role. You’re strengthening your organization from the inside out.

Veterans don’t need handouts, they need opportunities. Veteran employment isn’t a favor, it’s a business strategy that works. When done right, it creates value for everyone, employers, employees and communities. At Amerit, we’re proud to stand with those who’ve served by helping them find the next mission that drives them forward.
