At Charter, we take pride in being named one of Forbes’ Best Employers for Veterans, and our commitment to veterans, Guard, Reserve members, the military spouse community, and their families is strong. That’s one of the many reasons we remain engaged with community organizations that focus on uplifting the veteran and military community.

While 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic have changed a lot of things about our day-to-day life, Charter’s commitment to our veterans and their families remains as strong as ever. As the nation pauses on Veterans Day to honor our veterans and those who continue to serve in the Guard or Reserves, Charter is proud to be helping veterans build careers in a growing and important field.

Each year, Charter teams up with HISTORY®’s Take a Veteran to School initiative to connect veterans with elementary, middle and high school students, so they can share their important perspective what being a veteran means to them. This year, working with schools, veterans’ councils and elected officials, Charter is proud to sponsor over 30 events across our 41-state footprint to educate and inspire students, and bring military service to life.

At Charter, we think forward – we’re doing the work today to help build a better connected America tomorrow. That’s why we’re investing in next-generation technologies, while continuing to build a strong, diverse, locally based workforce and investing in our state-of-the-art infrastructure.

Veterans Day is a time for the nation to pause and thank the brave men and women who have served our country.

In recognition of Veterans Day, Charter hosted a conversation – “Transitioning 21st Century Warriors Into the 21st Century Workforce” – to discuss how the private sector can do more to help veterans transition to civilian life. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Representatives Richard Hudson (R-NC) and Mark Takano (D-CA) opened the event with compelling remarks about the sacrifices veterans have made in their service to our country, followed by a panel discussion on how the public and private sectors can work together to create new recruitment, training and hiring opportunities for veterans and military spouses.

Tomorrow morning, we’re hosting an important conversation at our Washington, D.C. office about helping the men and women who served in our armed forces smoothly transition back into civilian life after completing their military service.

As we celebrate Veterans Day, we are thinking about the men and women who have served our country overseas and here at home. At Charter, we’re focused on supporting them and their families as they transition to civilian life. Veterans play a significant role in our workforce and are represented across all business units and in varying levels of the organization.

Every day, Charter’s more than 92,000 employees help us deliver better products and services under the Spectrum brand to our customers across our 41 state footprint. And we’re committed to hiring 20,000 workers by 2020, primarily by ending our reliance on offshore call centers. To grow our highly-skilled, diverse and insourced workforce we’re hiring more veterans and increasing employment opportunities for military spouses as well.

FAYETTEVILLE — As of last week soldiers on Fort Bragg can walk through these doors and into a new civilian life. Whether they are interested in health care, construction, transportation, technology or any field, they can chart their course here.

Today, Charter was proud to stand with active U.S. Army personnel at Fort Bragg in North Carolina for the opening of a new career resource center that will help companies like ours recruit, train and hire veterans who are finishing their military service and transitioning to civilian life. Partnering with Fort Bragg, Charter will offer a new program that will provide active duty service men and women the opportunity to explore and acquire training for a career with us as a field technician.

Every minute of every day, we all benefit from the work of our military. As much as we admire and respect the contributions of our men and women in uniform, we can never do enough to demonstrate our gratitude for their sacrifices. These men and women have the experience and fortitude to contribute greatly to our country, including our businesses, after they leave military service.

Charter said it is expanding its five-state Broadband Technician Apprenticeship Program to its entire 41-state footprint.

Charter is proud to support military veterans transitioning back into civilian life. Through proactive recruitment and expanded outreach, the company is committed to building a highly skilled and diverse workforce that is inclusive for all.
