14. Inclusion Captain Program
Throughout SHRM’s nationwide network of 600 state councils and chapters are passionate HR professionals who volunteer their time to lead workforce readiness and diversity & inclusion programs in their local communities. The Inclusion Captain program transforms these passionate volunteer leaders into educational ambassadors who will teach employers in their communities about the best practices to attract, hire and retain veterans. Trained HR professionals will use research-based, high-quality resources to deliver peer-led programming to inspire employers to assist local veterans and to increase the skills and abilities of HR professionals to engage and integrate veterans into their workplaces. The inaugural cohort of 50 Inclusion Captains were selected and trained in the fall of Captains have built out implementation plans outlining how they will share their knowledge of veteran hiring with 250 local professionals in 2019, with a collective goal of educating 12,500 professionals this year.
To get in touch with the Inclusion Captain in your state, please fill out this resource request form, indicating that you would like to be connected with your state ambassador.
