This Veterans Day, Charter Communications is proud to recognize and honor those who have dedicated their lives to serving our country. The work ethic, tenacity, and leadership skills exhibited by veterans extend into every area of their lives, making them an invaluable part of the Charter team and America’s broader workforce.
Through multiple avenues, Charter supports veterans, guardsmen, reservists, military spouses, and transitioning service members, leveraging their unique skill sets to make our team stronger and enable them to achieve lasting career success. Our appreciation for the nearly 10% of our current workforce who have a military affiliation can’t be understated this Veterans Day.
As a Military Friendly Employer Gold Award recipient and a VETS Index 5 Star Employer, Charter offers unique career advancement opportunities and benefits for the military community.
These individuals have access to career progression through on-the-job training, and qualified veterans can also obtain GI Bill benefits in addition to their paycheck through the nationally certified Broadband Field Technician Apprenticeship Program, available in 41 states. Since 2018, more than 2,800 employees have graduated from this program. Charter also partners with different military bases and veteran organizations, like the Fort Bragg Career Resource Center, which provides active-duty service men and women the opportunity to explore and acquire training for a career with Charter at an on-site career resource center.
We also ensure that qualified professionals married to members of the armed services are taken into consideration through the Military Spouse Employment Partnership, ensuring that the skills and expertise of the loved ones of military members and veterans don’t go overlooked.
“Our veterans are highly skilled problem solvers,” said Executive Vice President, Human Resources Paul Marchand. “They bring efficiency and a mission-oriented mindset that is effective across all business units and in varying levels of the company, including executive leadership.”
Charter also recently became the first major employer to commit to the federal “Invest America” Trump Accounts initiative – a new program that will see the U.S. government deposit $1,000 into an index fund for every American child born from January 2025 through December 2028. Charter will match the $1,000 contribution for its employees’ children, doubling the program’s impact for military-affiliated employees and their loved ones. According to an estimate by the Milken Institute, the $1,000 accounts would grow in value, on average, to $8,000 after 20 years, $69,000 after 40 years, and $574,000 after 60 years. Charter’s match has the potential to double these numbers.
Today and every day, Charter is proud to stand alongside the heroes who have served our country in today’s workforce. Veterans have helped safeguard our country and are now an integral part of Charter’s team, local communities, and the fabric of America. We thank them for their service and dedication throughout the year.
