There are over 132,000 Veterans in the workforce in South Carolina and recognizing Veterans in the workplace is a way to honor their service to our country. The information provided in the Veterans' Recognition Toolkit are recommendations for good practices in recognizing Veterans in the workplace and the benefits of hiring Veterans.

The toolkit highlights some of the valuable characteristics and values that Veterans bring to the civilian workforce. Organizations benefit from Veteran employees by acquiring skills, knowledge and abilities of Veteran’s gained from their military service such as leadership, ability to collaborate, work on a team and handle stressful situations.
