Veterans

Cable companies are focused on training and hiring military veterans, supporting military community organizations, offering special programs such as low-cost broadband, and more.

The cable industry recognizes that military veterans have valuable talents and attributes – technical expertise, collaborative skills and a strong work ethic – that can be translated to many professional positions.

Spotlighting Charter's Commitment to Veterans

The cable industry recognizes the importance of helping veterans transition into the workforce and civilian life, and the tremendous talent, skills, and life experiences that they have to contribute. This is why cable providers and programmers work year-round to support veterans and their families through various recruitment, professional development, and transition programs.
 
 Charter is a leading example of a cable provider that continually dedicates efforts and resources towards finding meaningful work for veterans within their ranks, and towards providing them with the training and mentorship they need to succeed. Starting with its recruitment and hiring efforts, Charter hosts and participates in career and job fairs to connect directly with the military community.
