Ipsos Announces Veterans Employment and Training Program
New York, NY — Ipsos in the U.S. is proud to announce its partnership with Onward to Opportunity and the Veterans Career Transition Program (O2O – VCTP), in delivering a new training and employment program for transitioning service members, veterans and military families. The new initiative provides free, comprehensive career training, certification and employment to help participants launch their careers, with over 30 industry-recognized career tracks and courses. In addition, this unique employment pathway provides direct connections to career counseling, job-ready training and access to over 400 brand name employers.
The partnership reaffirms Ipsos’ commitment to hiring veterans. Ipsos’ Human Resources teams across North America have made veteran recruitment a priority, allowing Ipsos to utilize the skills and talent available in those who have served. This program will allow Ipsos to engage with job seekers transitioning into the civilian workforce who are military trained, qualified, and have worked with Syracuse university on training and certifications which include the PMP certification, Management, Six Sigma, Call Center Fundamentals and Data Analytics.
“This is a valuable opportunity for Ipsos to engage with military veterans when it matters most” remarked Robyn Dow, Head of Human Resources in Ipsos in North America. “Transitioning from military life and entering the civilian workforce often presents a challenge for our veterans. We’re thankful for the service of our veterans, and want to provide opportunities for them to fully realize their skills and talents with Ipsos.”
Tony Zamora, Director, Ipsos Human Resources and a former U.S. Navy Veteran, emphasized the importance of this type of partnership. “There are two critical, nerve racking times in a service member’s journey – the day they ship off to boot camp, and the last day they wear the uniform. By partnering with O2O – VCTP, Ipsos gets the privilege and honor of supporting veterans during this important life stage.”
