This new initiative is part of Vets@Work, a dedicated program at KKR that supports the recruitment and hiring of military community members and reflects the firm's longstanding commitment to the men and women who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. Since 2010, KKR and its portfolio companies have hired nearly 100,000 veterans and military spouses across the firm and its portfolio, and this new ambition builds on that momentum.

As part of the program, KKR partners with organizations that specialize in connecting military talent with employers, including VetJobs and Hiring Our Heroes. Through a combination of in-person and virtual job fairs, KKR enables transitioning service members and military spouses to find career opportunities across its portfolio. Earlier this year, more than a dozen KKR portfolio companies participated in a hiring fair at Fort Meade, Maryland, focused on talent acquisition and recruiting outreach. KKR is also a founding member of the Honor Through Action Alliance, a USAA-led program to support military veterans and their families. Vets@Work is supported by KKR’s Veterans Employee Resource Group.
