An estimated 39,000 veterans are expected to return from Afghanistan and Iraq to the United States by the end of this year. As such, the White House has teamed up with Intel Corporation to launch the Veteran's Employment Training Program, known as Intel VET for short. The purpose of the program is to help veterans make a smooth transition to a civilian career.



In support of the program, Intel Corporation will be expanding its Intel Computer Clubhouse Network (ICCN), which will provide technology and computer training to returning veterans to help them transition from the battlefield to the office. The ICCN has been helping youth in an after-school community-based technology instruction programs to use professional software and hardware to develop computer-related projects.

In addition to the computer and technology training, the Intel VET program will include services such as mock interviews, one-on-one coaching, behavioral interview training, and matching up with mentors.



Intel believes military candidates are a good fit for its culture, and values veteran's knowledge and experience. Intel's website has a dedicated employment page for veterans which has included positions for people with a military background in technical positions, such as engineering, informational technology, software, and manufacturing, as well as non-technical positions, such as those in finance, human resources, and corporate services.
