UPS Commits to Hire 25,000 Veterans
Washington, March 13, 2013

Supporting First Lady Michelle Obama's "Joining Forces Initiative," UPS to also serve 25,000 volunteer hours

UPS (NYSE: UPS) today announced that it is making a commitment to hire more than 25,000 veterans over the next five years as well as committing to serve more than 25,000 employee volunteer hours helping veterans and Veterans Service Organizations (VSO).

UPS made the announcement in cooperation with the Obama Administration initiative "Joining Forces," a program dedicated to connecting our servicemen and women, veterans and military spouses with the critical resources they need to find high-value jobs at home. At the Business Roundtable today First Lady Michelle Obama, who is leading the Joining Forces initiative, called out UPS as a corporate leader committed to supporting our troops.

"We appreciate First Lady Michelle Obama's recognition. The Joining Forces initiative is an important and natural extension of UPS's outward and visible support of the men and women that serve in the military," said Chairman and CEO Scott Davis. "Men and women who were prepared to give all a person can give, and with devotion and gallantry, were ready to sacrifice. Veterans, who through their service, honored their nation, should know that UPS can and wants their talents and skills to be recognized and valued."

Hi Carlos,
I work for Parallon Business Solutions in Houston. We provide supply chain for all the HCA hospitals in Houston. There may be an opportunity for a summer internship here. It would give you an opportunity to check out the healthcare supply chain. Contact me offline if you are interested at loretta.carter@parallon.net. I will be happy to talk with you about what our organization is doing. Thanks, Loretta

Hi Carlos,

I would suggest thinking of the companies that you would like to work for and then researching their open positions in the SC field. I did a quick search on the external job seeker website for HP and the supply chain field had multiple matches in Houston. There were even a few intern positions sprinkled in there. Here is the website, good luck. https://hp.taleo.net/careersection/2/jobsearch.ftl?lang=en

Carlos - Welcome to Supply Chain! There are many opportunities available to work within Supply Chain/Operations, but I wanted to highlight 3 that you might find useful:

(1) Internship opportunities through University of Houston - many universities partner with companies in their local area to help place students in a short term internship program that would help the student gain experience/visibility into the different roles that might be available. I'd encourage you to talk to your professors/advisors to see if such a program exists at the University of Houston.

(2) Many companies are focusing their hiring efforts on veterans. I work for General Electric (GE) and I know we have several manufacturing facilities in the Houston area that might have some opportunities available. The GE website for veterans is:

(3) Feel free to reach out to me via email (amanda.volpe@ge.com) if you'd like to talk more about opportunities in the Supply Chain/Logistics field. I am currently the Materials Leader for our GE Aviation facility in Jacksonville, FL and would be more than happy to help answer any questions you might have.

Thanks!
