Ford Receives Veteran-Friendly Employer Silver Certification

WESTLAND, Mich.,–– Over the past few years, Ford has provided veterans with on-site training, internships, and exceptional employment opportunities. This dedication to the veteran community of the United States has allowed Ford to Receive a Veteran-Friendly Employer Silver Certification from the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency. Ford's commitment to providing employment to former service members has stood out to the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency, which has awarded Ford with one of the most uncommon certifications available to businesses from Michigan.

Ford's unique veteran-friendly program utilizes former service members' skills in information technology, product development, finance, and manufacturing to strengthen the industry's leadership core. The company's Veterans Network Group assists newly employed veterans with the transition into corporate culture, giving them a chance to learn the ins and outs of the business. Ford is one of twelve silver-level employers in the state of Michigan. They were awarded this due to their internal veteran support networks, leadership development programs, and on-the-job training programs for veterans. 

“Ford Motor Company is dedicated to supporting our military personnel, veterans, and their families,” said Bill Dirksen, vice president Labor Affairs, Ford Motor Company, and executive champion of the Veterans Network Group. “At Ford, we value the military experience of our nation’s brave servicemen and women, the technical skills they gain while serving our great country, and leadership qualities which are well respected at Ford."

A complete list of MVAA-certified employers is available at their website, with detailed explanations on the qualifications Ford had to reach in order to receive its certification. Ford received a veteran-friendly employer silver certification due to their extensive efforts in making sure their business was open and accessible to any and all former service members.
