”A must-read for HR and College Recruiters.” -Bob Dees, Major General, U.S. Army, Retired Former VP for Military Outreach, Liberty University, Author of Resilience Trilogy”U.S. Veterans in the Workforce by Mike Schindler is an important piece, with a unique relevance as it relates to the integration of the marketplace and principles learned through military service. In today’s workforce, we’re finding more and more companies focused on a “narrow” career path—an inch wide—in a “silo’d” approach. Yet, through military service, we’re developing leaders holistically, which means they become more and more valuable in the marketplace as future leaders who can see the big picture.” -Jeff Rogers, Chairman & CEO, OneAccord”U.S. Veterans in the Workforce is a rich collection of inspirational achievements about the men and women who have served our country with honor and are now ready to enrich our civilian ranks. As I read this book, I felt the struggles and perseverance of those who transitioned from military to civilian life. I truly believe that Schindler's book can create a Vet-Strong culture in our higher education institutions and corporations by exemplifying the strong leadership foundation and solution-minded characteristics of our veterans. Bravo!” -Dr. Jean Hernandez,President, Edmonds Community College”For leaders who wish to create a competitive advantage in their fields—be it business, industry, education, non-profits, healthcare or the like—U.S. Veterans in the Workforce is not only a must read, it is a must understand. Mike Schindler captures the value-stream that veterans represent in today’s workforce with a comprehension that is more informed and in-depth than anything I have encountered to date.”< b> -John Andrews, Captain, United States Navy Retired Former executive for City of Norfolk tasked with Veteran Workforce Development for the Hampton Roads Region”U.S. Veterans in the Workforce: Why the 7 Percent are America’s Greatest Asset is a wonderful tribute to the best of America’s values and strengths as found in its veterans. I recommend this book to anyone seeking to understand the modern-day veteran’s experiences and challenges, both during active duty and during re-entry into the civilian world of work and higher education. One of those values is “Grit”—increasingly understood today as a key ingredient for successfully navigating our complex workplace and competitive higher education landscape.” -John F. Swiney, Ph.D., Special Assistant to the CFO/Vice President Business and Financial Affairs Central Washington University”U.S. Veterans in the Workforce” showcases the resolve and talent we have in our states just waiting to be tapped. Veterans are the best hire any employer can make!” -Lourdes E. Alvarado Ramos (Alfie), Washington State Director of Department of Veterans Affairs
