Ran across this on the Disney site and thought it might interest some.


September 10, 2013 -- Burbank, Calif. and Lake Buena Vista, Fla. – Building on its successful Heroes Work Here initiative to hire, train and support military veterans, Disney will host a free Veterans Institute workshop at Walt Disney World Resort on Thursday, Nov. 14, 2013, to inspire other companies to employ servicemen and women transitioning to the private sector.

The day-long Veterans Institute, co-sponsored by Heroes Work Here and Disney Institute, is designed to help small- and mid-sized companies build effective veteran-hiring programs of their own. The event will feature experts from Disney’s Heroes Work Here, government officials, veterans, and non-profit veterans service organizations, who will share their experiences, best practices, and tips for making a successful transition from the military to the civilian workforce.

This is just one more reason I love Disney. They are smart enough to realize that veterans will most likely make excellant employees and that hiring veterans is what a good company :thumbsup:would do.
