As we near Veterans Day on Nov. 11, WashingtonExec is interviewing GovCon leaders to discuss how their companies support and recognize veterans during this time of year and year-round.
In this segment, WashingtonExec’s Rachel Kirkland speaks with Jeff Carson, senior talent acquisition outreach lead for military and veterans at Peraton and a U.S. Army veteran. Carson shares how his own transition from active duty inspired a lifelong passion for helping fellow service members find fulfilling careers. He highlights Peraton’s year-round veteran initiatives — from SkillBridge internships and virtual hiring events to podcasts focused on resume writing and networking — and explains why honoring and empowering veterans remains central to the company’s mission.
