Celebrating Our Veterans on November 11

At Jacobs, we’re proud of the unique capabilities, experience, and innovation that our global team of over 6,000 veterans brings to our company. November 11 gives us the perfect opportunity to recognize them, thank them for their service and celebrate the immeasurable contribution that they bring to our business, our clients, and the communities that we serve.

11/11 is a date of huge significance for veteran communities across the world. Remembrance Day in Commonwealth countries, Veterans Day in the United States, Independence Day in Poland… the names and methods of observance are different, but the message is simple: it’s a day to honor those who bravely served and made innumerable sacrifices to serve their nations.

Our commitment to recruiting, developing, and empowering veterans has had a tangible impact on our company culture. Their unique experience and the innovation and discipline that they bring helps us broaden our horizons to see the world as it is and as it can be.

Veterans at Jacobs have access to leadership development programs, flexible working and the chance to network and lead with other veterans as part of VetNet, our global employee network for veterans, active military and their families and supporters. With over 1,000 members worldwide, VetNet provides opportunities for veterans to thrive by expanding their business networks, exploring new skills and capabilities and collaborating on new ways to further elevate our company and culture.
