in recruiting veterans. One example is Deutsche Bank’s Veterans on Wall Street initiative (
www.veteranson
wallstreet.com), which helps recruit, train, and retain veterans for jobs in the financial sector. Retiring service-
members also can take advantage of the services offered by the Employer Partnership of the Armed Forces (
www.employerpartnership.org), which connects veterans with em- ployers interested in hiring former servicemembers. Those employers include almost all of the nation’s For- tune 500 companies. For those won- dering how to translate their military skills into civilian employment terms, American Corporate Partners (www
.acp-usa.org) helps connect recently retired veterans as well as spouses of servicemembers killed or severely wounded in action with profession- als in corporate America who provide up to a year of career mentoring and counseling services.
