福克斯新闻 雇用!避免老兵失业!Hired!

Getting you Hired! A special edition for our returning heroes. I'm Cheryl Casone with the FOX Business Network.

The unemployment rate for veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars is hovering¹ around 9%. A jarring number that has many settling for anything they can get, even a minimum wage job.

Retired² Navy Vice³ Admiral Joe Kernan is chairman of NS2 Serves, multi-national software giant SAP.

(Kernan) "I think I have a responsibility to continue to try to help them be successful because they've done so much, you know they've done so much for their country."

The purpose of NS2 Serves: Teach and certify⁴ a select group of veterans to become SAP technology consultants⁵. SAP software can be found in over 70% of companies — including the biggest names in intelligence and security, even the U.S. Government.

It's a 10 week intensive program. NS2 guarantees a job to all who graduate. The hope among the team that created this model is that other companies who say they want to hire vets⁶, will do the same.
