UnitedHealth Group Joins 100,000 Jobs Mission

UnitedHealth Group is joining the 100,000 Jobs Mission, a coalition of major U.S. corporations that share the goal of hiring 100,000 transitioning service members and military veterans by 2020.

As a part of this commitment, UnitedHealth Group will actively recruit military service members and veterans through targeted outreach and hiring and recruitment events.

“Our nation’s veterans have many characteristics highly valued by UnitedHealth Group. They are motivated and highly skilled individuals with a strong work ethic,” said Rich Hughes, senior vice president, Talent Acquisition, Development and Mobility. “The 100,000 Jobs Mission gives us another channel to recruit talented employees, and we are grateful for the opportunity to support our military veterans who have bravely served our country.”

Joining the 100,000 Jobs Mission is one of many ways UnitedHealth Group supports veterans and their families. UnitedHealth Group partners with a variety of organizations to help source military and veteran candidates such as the Military Spouse Employment Partnership, RecruitMilitary and the Wounded Warrior Project. UnitedHealthcare, a UnitedHealth Group company, is the presenting sponsor of Ride 2 Recovery, an organization supporting physical and psychological rehabilitation programs for injured veterans, featuring cycling as the core activity.

To date, 41 corporations have joined the 100,000 Jobs Mission and collectively hired more than 12,000 veterans.
