Google’s ongoing commitment to the veteran community

As co-leads of the Google Veterans Network (VetNet) Employee Resource Group, we witness firsthand how veterans' skills seamlessly transition into impactful roles within the workforce. Our commitment to supporting veterans extends far beyond their military service, as we provide career resources and trainings in cutting-edge technology to assist them in thriving throughout their civilian lives. This includes offering diverse opportunities for growth and development, ensuring veterans have the tools they need to succeed.

This year, the Google Veteran Impact Awards allocated $500,000 in funding to four exceptional nonprofits that have garnered the trust and support of our veteran community. These organizations were nominated by fellow Googlers with personal connections to their missions, ensuring that the grants reach programs that our veteran community values and champions. The awarded organizations span a range of vital areas, reflecting the diverse needs of the veteran population.

Google is actively embracing and connecting with the military community through its various products and platforms. We celebrate the camaraderie and purpose that continue even after service members retire their uniforms. Veterans, service members, and military families who are transitioning to civilian life bring a unique set of skills and strengths to our teams – resilience, adaptability, and exceptional teamwork.

We recognize that these qualities are invaluable assets, and we strive to create an inclusive environment where veterans feel valued and supported in their new roles.

In a recent survey conducted by Google/Ipsos Cloud Learning Services Market Pulse, 179 learners shared their thoughts on the value of the skills they are acquiring. Their feedback highlights the growing demand for veterans and military spouses in the tech industry, further emphasizing the importance of Google's ongoing commitment to this community. Our dedication to veterans and military families remains unwavering, as we continue to invest in their success and well-being.
