As co-leads of the Google Veterans Network (VetNet) Employee Resource Group, we see daily how veterans’ skills translate into high-impact workforce leadership. Through deep collaborations with global non-profits, industry partners, and our own product teams, Google is continuing to invest in career pathways and grassroots support to help veterans and military spouses successfully transition and thrive at every stage of their civilian lives.
Expanding skills and career pathways
A central part of our efforts is providing veterans with career resources and trainings in the latest tech skills. Here’s what we’re doing:
Investing in community organizations
This year’s Google Veteran Impact Awards delivered $500,000 in new funding across four high-impact organizations. Nominated by VetNet Googlers with deep personal ties to their work, these nonprofits represent the groups our veteran community trusts, champions, and volunteers for:
FourBlock: Leads employer-hosted transition programs, taught directly by corporate leaders at active workplaces, for veterans to build direct networks and translate their military experience using an AI-enabled platform.
Blue Star Families: Serves as the nation’s largest military and veteran family support organization, strengthening families through trusted resources, community partnerships, and scam-prevention education.
The Von Terra Project: Empowers veterans transitioning to advanced technical careers through offerings like its comprehensive cybersecurity certification program, which features learning resources, fully funded exam vouchers, and one-on-one industry mentorship.
The Job Forum: Facilitates volunteer-led advising where experienced executives and hiring professionals help veterans and spouses translate skills and prepare for interviews.
Spotlighting veterans through our products
Across Google's products and platforms, we are celebrating and connecting the military community:
Camaraderie and purpose don’t end when service members hang up their uniforms. For the thousands of military families transitioning to civilian life each year, that shared sense of mission endures — and at Google, we recognize that the resilience, adaptability, and teamwork forged in service are invaluable assets to our teams.
To our veterans, service members, and military families: thank you for your service and leadership.
