Helping Veterans Find Jobs

Page 2: Media Kit - Call of Duty Endowment

With hundreds of thousands American heroes returning home from service in Afghanistan and Iraq, our nation faces a crisis of honor.

In the years in which they were answering the call of duty, these men and women faced challenges that most of us can barely imagine. Yet upon arriving back in the United States, they discovered that finding a job in one of the worst economies on record can be at least as daunting a challenge as those they confronted in the theater of war.

Statistics tell their story:

• Nearly one million veterans are unemployed in the United States today.

• The unemployment rate for veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan period is 12 percent, 25 percent higher than the national average.

• For veterans between 18 and 24 years old, the unemployment rate is a chilling 30 percent.

In 2009, Activision created the Call of Duty Endowment as a commitment to these men and women who so ably served our country, protected our democracy, and safeguarded our free markets.

Since then, with backing from Activision, the endowment has invested $5 million helping veterans find meaningful employment opportunities. To do this, we have formed partnerships with

groups such as Hire Heroes USA, Veterans Green Jobs, the National Chamber Foundation and others highlighted in this report. In addition, we have instituted scholarships for video game production and graphic design at two community colleges—Austin Community College in Texas and Madison Area Technical College in Wisconsin—where large numbers of veterans study.

As a result, hundreds of veterans have found jobs and thousands more received training and mentoring. But we cannot forget that so many more veterans need the endowment’s help.

As co-chairs of the endowment, the two of us—one a career-long businessman, the other a retired Marine Corp General and National Security Advisor to the President of the United States—are proud to join with the all-veteran advisory board and so many others who have joined in this noble effort.

We are very proud of the endowment’s success to date and determined that our achievements these past three years will prove the threshold of even greater service to our returning heroes in the years ahead.

For we believe passionately in the mission of the Call of Duty Endowment—helping veterans find jobs.

AMVETS received a $100,000 Call of Duty Endowment grant in March 2011 to help develop AMVETS Career Centers across the country. These Career Centers provide a full range of career services, including career assessment and exploration, training, licensing and certification assistance, resume writing and assistance with the job-search process. AMVETS has connected with an estimated 11,000 veterans, 1,800 of which were directly served through Career Centers.

Founded in 1944, AMVETS has 180,000 members in more than 1,150 posts across the country.

“For more than a decade, AMVETS Career Centers have served the needs of transitioning veterans in Ohio, New York Tennessee, and Pennsylvania,” said AMVETS National Executive Director Stewart Hickey. “Through the generous support of Activision and the Call of Duty Endowment over the past year, AMVETS has created 14 new career centers powered by the Call of Duty Endowment; more than double the number projected, and has placed nearly one hundred veterans in careers nationwide. AMVETS National Commander Gary L. Fry and I are proud to have joined Activision CEO Bobby Kotick in expressing our gratitude to our newest generation of American veterans.”

24 year-old army veteran shawna olson, a Specialist, served at Ft. Hood, Texas, Bamberg, Germany and Southern Iraq. While serving a tour of duty in Iraq she was a .50 caliber machine gunner on a Humvee when it detonated a roadside bomb. The concussion from the explosion caused traumatic brain injury. She left the Army in 2010 and began school and her search for employment. Through the efforts of AMVETS’ Rod Blackman and the Tulare California AMVETS-Call of Duty Endowment Career Center Shawna was taught to prepare paperwork for the Veterans Administration, which led to a paid work-study position at the Career Center.

Military to Medicine’s mission is to address the national healthcare worker shortage with military talent and to set the standards for career transition from the military to civilian healthcare. In aligning with its commitment of helping veterans find 21st century careers, the Call of Duty Endowment awarded Military to Medicine a $100,000 grant in March 2011.

“The Call of Duty Endowment funds have proven essential in providing healthcare training and career opportunity assistance to military spouses, wounded warriors and their caregivers, veterans, National Guard, reserve and active duty service members in transitioning to civilian employment,” explains Maureen Zutz, Inova Health System Foundation’s Director of Leadership Giving.

With the Endowment’s funds over the past year, Military to Medicine provided a total of 149 healthcare career courses at no cost to 59 veterans nationwide, and placed 136 veterans into jobs. In total, they have assisted 195 veterans with entry-level healthcare training and job placement assistance. Additionally, Military to Medicine has invested approximately $11,000 into the development of high demand healthcare courses to address workforce needs and expand course offerings.

us army veteran, catherine M. portlock was a strategic microwave system repairer before she was discharged in July 1981. In December 2008, Portlock was laid off from her job and due to the economy, was unable to find another. Portlock decided that she wanted to go back to school to become an Administrative Medical Assistant but didn’t have any money to do it. She was referred to the Military to Medicine program last fall, and is currently training in the Medical Terminology Course. Portlock is currently applying for a part-time job in a local hospital, and would have not been eligible to apply for the position without having taken the Terminology Course.

$ 100,000

The Call of Duty Endowment awarded the USO a $100,000 grant in March 2011. The grant is part of the USO’s Operation Enduring Cure, a $100 Million project of which $25 Million will be allocated to the building two new Warrior and Family Support Centers at the new campus of the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, MD and Ft. Belvoir, VA.

The Endowment grant will go towards the career training and education programs made available to recovering wounded warriors and their families staying at the centers. According to USO President Sloan Gibson, the grant from the Call of Duty Endowment will go a long way to helping the USO achieve their goal of preparing wounded warriors for their transition to civilian life.

The USO recently broke ground on their new facilities at Ft. Belvoir, and their target date for completion is the fall of 2012. The groundbreaking for the facilities

at Bethesda’s new Walter Reed Hospital will take place later in 2012. USO President Sloan Gibson said the centers “will be a place where families of wounded warriors can be together as families, away from the hospital environment. A place where they can enjoy a home-cooked meal together, where children can play. A place of respite, where they can relax in meditation rooms. And a place to begin to work toward the future, through continuing education programs offered in the learning center. And in the business center, they’ll be able to deal with any [administrative issues] that does not go away, even though their lives may have been turned upside down.”

The USO will build a comprehensive program to ensure that wounded warriors and their spouses have a full range of support in their career pursuits. The USO is already partnered with Hire Heroes USA, another recipient a Call of Duty Endowment grant, to provide transition workshops for wounded, ill and injured troops across the nation.

the grant will enable us to increase the work that we are doing

to support wounded warriors as they are making the transition

from active duty, and their recovery, into civilian work place.

$ 100,000

On March 31, 2011 the Call of Duty Endowment awarded Student Veterans of America (SVA) a $100,000 grant. SVA seeks to provide military veterans with the resources, support, and advocacy needed to succeed in earning a degree and following graduation.

Over the past year the Endowment’s funds contributed to providing internships to 19 veterans, and financial support for 10 veterans whose internships were unpaid. The Endowment’s partnership with SVA also yielded a pairing of 43 veterans with high-quality, professional mentors employed by companies such as IBM, Hewlett Packard, and Goldman Sachs. Michael Dakduk, Executive Director

of Student Veterans of America, explains that “The Call of Duty Endowment’s support of SVA has had transformational effects. Not only were we able to offset the financial burdens of unpaid internships, but we paired student veterans with corporate mentors and made hundreds of connections to quality employers via hiring fairs. SVA is the link from combat to college and thanks to the Call of Duty Endowment’s support we were able to make the final linkage to a career.”

Sponsored by the Endowment and hosted by SVA, two career fairs at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and SVA’s 2011 National Conference in Las Vegas, NV connected 825 veterans with 84 employers.

one veteran helped by sva and the endowment is thomas Maxim, United States Marine Corps. Thomas served as a judicial intern with the Massachusetts Court of Appeals. In his role, received court briefs, reviewed and researched subsequent legal issues, and then wrote bench memos to judges. Thomas expressed appreciation for his internship and financial support when he said that “This well-respected position was very helpful in developing legal writing and research skills. For these reasons I know it will help me find employment in the future.” Tom completed his internship in December and is currently pursuing his law degree.

March 2011

$ 100,000

Awarded a $100,000 Call of Duty Endowment grant in March 2011, Veterans Green Jobs (VGJ) seeks to engage, transition, and connect military veterans with meaningful employment opportunities that serve our communities and environment.

Dr. William W. Doe, III, U.S. Army veteran and CEO of Veterans Green Jobs explains that “Our partnership with the Call of Duty Endowment has allowed Veterans Green Jobs to launch and implement one of our key programs: Veterans Green Force, which is designed to recruit and place veterans in green sector jobs, including outdoor conservation, energy efficiency and renewable energy. We both understand the military culture and veterans’ needs. We value the significant skills and qualities they bring to the American workforce.” Officially launched in February 2012, VGJ’s Veterans Green Force program aims to positively impact more than 1,000 veterans in its first year of operation.

Through the Endowment’s support of the Veterans Green Force program, VGJ has connected 351 veterans nationwide via networking events, job fairs and military bases, and signing partnership memorandums of understanding with Namaste solar, Ecotech Institute, Colorado State University, and Syracuse University.

Since accepting the Call of Duty Endowment grant last March, VGJ has channeled 240 veterans into job training opportunities through the Veterans Green Corps and Veterans Fire Corps programs. With the expansion of its organization, VGJ also hired nine veteran employees in the past year.

u.s. army veteran Dan conerd, a heavy construction operator and an M249 (SAW) gunner, spent eight years in the military including serving one year in Iraq. Upon the recommendation from Veterans Green Jobs, Conerd started training at Red Rocks Community College in the school’s renewable energy program, and is now working toward an associate’s degree in Solar Photovoltaics. Veterans Green Jobs then connected Dan with Namaste Solar in Denver, where he applied for a job; he was offered a position as a solar panel installer in early 2012.

First awarded an $80,000 grant in May 27, 2010, Hire Heroes USA has since received two more donations totaling $70,000 for their active engagement in the Call of Duty Endowment’s 2011 and 2012 Memorial Day Facebook Campaigns.

Highlighting our continued partnership over the years, Hire Heroes USA President Brian Stann explains that “The Call of Duty Endowment first contributed to Hire Heroes USA’s mission in 2010 and has faithfully continued that support for 2 years; without their assistance our impact on veteran unemployment would be significantly less. Bobby Kotick’s personal devotion to ensuring our nation’s veterans have employment opportunities upon completion of their service has been instrumental in establishing outstanding organizations like Hire Heroes USA that are capable of long term effectiveness in getting veterans into new careers by increasing awareness, education, and training nationwide.”

Headquartered outside of Atlanta, Georgia, Hire Heroes USA has built a national reputation of excellence for its success at helping unemployed veterans find jobs—currently at the rate of one veteran confirmed hired every business day.

The Endowment’s funding over the past two years supported the expansion of the Wounded Warrior Transition Assistance Workshops program from 5 offerings in 2010 to 12 in 2011. The 12 workshops held on 7 different military bases in 2011 trained 200 wounded, ill or injured service members and their spouses, and contributed to writing more than 800 resumes for unemployed veterans and securing 171 family-wage jobs. In 2012, Hire Heroes USA has already secured employment for 125 veterans.

shane allen served 7 years in the us army from 2003 to 2010 as a Chemical Operations Specialist, during which time he rose to the rank of Staff Sergeant and was deployed in support of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM. Allen registered with Hire Heroes in July of 2011, and received resume writing and job search assistance. Allen was subsequently hired by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as a Security Special Agent. Allen expressed his appreciation for the support when explaining that, “Hire Heroes USA was the first and only company to genuinely help me with marketing myself to the civilian workforce.”

$ 100,000

The Call of Duty Endowment announced a $100,000 grant to Huntsville, Alabama-based Still Serving Veterans (SSV) on October 30, 2011. SSV exists to empower veterans and their families by helping them reintegrate into the workforce and community via counseling, coaching, guiding, job transition, assistance in obtaining meaningful employment and all Veterans Administration (VA) benefits to which they are entitled.

Funds given by the Endowment were used by SSV to employ a workforce development case manager and participate in 44 career fairs or expositions in cities such as Nashville, Tennessee and Mobile, Alabama.

Additionally, SSV’s Workforce Development program consists of an interactive session with a counselor to develop a job placement plan which includes critiquing and/or developing resumes, job search strategies, and interview skills/strategies. Through this program, the Endowment’s support in 2011 helped SSV to open 655 new veteran cases with 2,599 one-on-one counseling sessions, resulting in 130 veterans hired.

The Endowment first awarded SSV a grant of $25,000 in the fall of 2010. SSV President Will Webb expresses his appreciation of both grants totaling $125,000 by explaining that “With the security of the Call of Duty Endowment grant, we were able to take our workforce development program for Veterans to a higher level. The grant was a catalyst which allowed SSV to increase our placement of Veterans into meaningful new careers from 80 in 2010 to 130 in 2011.”

Jason foster, an operation iraqi freedom veteran, came to Still Serving Veterans in November 2011 seeking employment. After administering an assessment and an employment plan, SSV was able to help Jason find employment with the Home Depot. The job at Home Depot did not work out for Jason so he returned to SSV for further job development. Through a partnership with “The CDL School” SSV was able to enroll Jason in Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) classes. Jason graduated with a CDL certification in April and has been offered a job with Federal Express.

Making the announcement at a Philadelphia Eagles Monday Night Football game, the third stop for the Purpose Driven Rehab tour, the Call of Duty Endowment awarded Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) a $50,000 grant in November 2011. IAVA is the nation’s first and largest nonprofit, nonpartisan organization for veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Endowment’s funds support IAVA’s Combat to Career program, an initiative which provides resources to its members, including 6,000 business suits, helping hundreds of them navigate the job market at Smart Job Fairs, and providing training to vets through Google Resume Workshops.

“The Call of Duty Endowment has been a critical supporter of IAVA’s groundbreaking Combat to Career program which connected nearly 500 veterans with employment and employment-related services including resume workshops and interview training. Simply put, the Call of Duty Endowment is helping IAVA get veterans back to work,” says Paul Rieckhoff, Founder and Executive Director, Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.

eric smith served in the u.s. navy as a hospital corpsman for five and a half years, being deployed twice to Iraq. During his tours, he gained valuable experience in the medical field under the most extreme conditions imaginable. However, despite his expertise and skills, he struggled to find a civilian job after his military service ended. To help find a solution to this issue that thousands of other veterans were also experiencing, Eric joined Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA). As an active member and spokesman for the organization, Eric met with 117 offices and 57 members of Congress during IAVA’s 2011 Storm the Hill to ask them to commission a study and report about how military vocational skills and certifications translate to the civilian world.

In December 2011, the Call of Duty Endowment announced a $100,000 grant to the Business and Professional Women’s Foundation (BPWF) to support the launch and deployment of the Joining Forces for Women Veterans and Military Spouses Mentoring Plus™ program.

The Business and Professional Women’s Foundation seeks to empower working women to achieve their full potential, and partners with employers to build successful careers through education, research, knowledge and policy.

The Endowment’s funds are being used to develop an in-house software platform for the new program. The BPWF program will suggest matches for veteran mentees and mentors based on their respective needs and expertise, as it relates to finding employment and transitioning back to civilian life. Still only within its first quarter, the program has already proven its potential as 107 mentors, 98 mentees and 6 employers have enrolled. 46 mentors have also been training via the online curriculum.

In the future, BPWF plans to use the rest of its Endowment grant to develop a Chicago pilot program, distribute Mentoring Plus materials in all VA Women’s Health Clinics, and triple the number of mentee and mentor users.

During her eight years of service, Dawn smith was an Air Force Terminal Operations Manager and served in both Iraq and Afghanistan. She was responsible for processing and loading more than 7,000 passengers and directed the shipment of cargo. However, upon returning from combat, Dawn could only find employment with the Internal Revenue Service at a drastically lower level than she was capable of performing, particularly with two Masters degrees. Wanting to pursue a career in accounting, Dawn sought mentoring and career development assistance from the Business and Professional Women’s Foundation (BPW). As a result of working with her BPW Mentor, Dawn was recently hired by a federal agency, at double the salary she was making at the IRS.

The Call of Duty Endowment awarded the National Chamber Foundation’s Hiring our Heroes program a $250,000 grant in November 2011 to fund 25 Veterans Hiring Fairs in 25 cities across the country in 2012.

Kevin Schmiegel, Executive Director of Hiring Our Heroes and Vice President of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, expresses his appreciation when explaining that “the Call of Duty Endowment has been one of our most powerful supporters at Hiring Our Heroes. The Endowment’s partnership has allowed us to expand from 100 veteran hiring fairs to 400 all around America in just our second year of operation. 10,000 veterans have found employment through these events, and we’re honored and proud to work closely with CODE every step of the way.”

So far this year, the Endowment’s funds have sponsored eleven Hiring our Heroes career fairs, resulting in hundreds of job placements for veterans and military spouses. 6,629 veterans were also directly served through these Endowment-sponsored events.

The program has been recognized by civilian and military leaders from throughout the public, private and non-profit sectors, including first Lady Michelle Obama, Dr. Jill Biden, VA Secretary Eric Shinseki, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey, public figures such as Tom Brokaw and Brian Williams, as well as Governors, Senators, and other elected officials throughout the nation.

Joshua, trained to be a geospatial analyst, is an army veteran who served in Iraq. While in Iraq, he was in charge of securing convoys, checking roads for improvised explosive devices. He managed many soldiers, communicating detailed information throughout his unit, but when Joshua left active duty in May 2010, he was unable to find consistent work for almost a year. After attending a Hiring Our Heroes job fair last September, Joshua was hired by the American Red Cross and has been called one of the best employees at his Portland location.
