Navient, an ACA International member company based in Wilmington, Delaware, has earned 2023 Military Friendly designation from VIQTORY, publisher of G.I. Jobs and Military Spouse Magazine. This is the ninth consecutive year the company has been recognized by the publisher for its support of the military.
“At Navient, we have long supported our armed forces in numerous ways,” said Mike Maier, senior vice president of Navient and U.S. Navy veteran. “That includes how we serve our military customers, how we provide veterans and their families with opportunities to build meaningful careers with our company, and how we select our suppliers and the organizations we support in our communities.”
Navient provides several resources to support veterans, including:
- Participating in hiring events to reach job-seeking veterans. Navient is a member of the Veteran Jobs Mission, a coalition of companies committed to hiring U.S. military veterans and military spouses.
- Helping service members and their families understand their student loan benefits and options through its Military Benefits team.
- Providing recognition, mentoring and resources to employees and their families connected to the military through the employee-led Veterans Resource Group.
- Supporting community groups that provide care and resources to service members and veterans.
Since 2003, the Military Friendly Employers list has come to set the standard for organizations that provide the best opportunities for veterans and their spouses. The list is created each year based on research using public data sources for more than 8,800 employers nationwide, input from employed veterans and responses to a comprehensive employer-submitted survey.
“Companies earning the Military Friendly Employers designation elevate the standard for military programs globally; they have invested in substantive programs that promote positive outcomes for service members, military spouses, and veterans within their organizations,” said Kayla Lopez, director of military partnerships at Military Friendly. “For these employers, hiring military is more than just the right thing to do; it’s a standard that makes good business sense.”
