What I Love Most About My Job.

We recognize the unique skills gained by those who served in the military and we want to support veteran employment in any way we can. We are dedicated to providing employment opportunities and support for military personnel and their families during and after their service.

We know military life means moving, which is why we provide employment opportunities and transfer options to military spouses. This allows you the opportunity to support your dreams while also supporting your family and the military, without having to put your career on hold to move across states.

Our VETS Affinity Group is an employee resource group open to all employees which fosters inclusion and support for its members. This is a platform that allows employees to network, volunteer for community service activities, and develop professionally in their career. The group also focuses on providing resources, and most importantly, recognizing the veteran and military family members we have on our team.

"I found a lot of pride in supporting my husband through his service with the Air Force. However, in doing so, I feared that I would have to put my career on hold because there wouldn't be a way for me to grow professionally with an organization if we had to move across states every few years. Since StepStone provides employment opportunities and transfer options to military spouses, it would have given me the opportunity to support my dreams while also supporting my family and the military. I'm so glad I joined StepStone and wish I had joined sooner."

"As a US Army veteran who has been in the medical profession for most of my life, including in the military, I can say with conviction that hiring and recruiting military veterans into the healthcare field is a huge opportunity for veterans as well as for the company. Veterans are trained to be detail-oriented, goal-oriented, and to focus on a task until it is completed properly. Most veterans have a strong work ethic. Many of them went into the military because they wanted to make a difference in the world and help others, this mentality crosses over into the healthcare field quite well. Everyone benefits when veterans are targeted for employment. The veteran gets a good job and the company will more than likely get a great employee!"

"We honor veterans, is not just a slogan. To honor our veterans, we must take action and one of those actions would be to hire a veteran. As a Navy veteran myself, I took an oath which is still a part of me all these years later, and for many veterans, it is the same. What does a veteran bring to the table? Selfless service, the idea of putting others before themselves. Teamwork, veterans know the importance of teamwork, like the belief 'no man left behind.' Honesty, most veterans have lived by a code of ethics and moral principles, building trust through honesty. Loyalty, veterans develop this trait in trusting their chain of command with this feeling of allegiance to a common goal. Leadership, veterans learn various forms of leadership with each role throughout their military service."

"Thanks to the unwavering support, I no longer have to start over every few years when we move. I’m grateful to be able to bring my career with me wherever I go. We understand the importance of supporting our military spouses."
