Prudential’s support for the military and Veterans dates back to the founding of the company more than 135 years ago and remains strong today.

Veterans are returning to civilian life by the tens of thousands, eager to apply their highly refined talents in sustainable careers. We recognize that this presents a challenge: how can we best cultivate those talents for the betterment of our nation, and for the lives of those who have served us?

Prudential responded by creating its Veterans Initiatives. This program establishes not only a robust training and educational platform for Veterans, but a talent pipeline for our company as well.

Prudential has proudly supported the U.S. Army Women’s Foundation since 2010. We salute the foundations strong educational scholarship programs and applaud the voice the foundation lends to Army women across the nation.

By supporting outstanding organizations such as the Army Women’s Foundation, we are confident that we are helping to create a stronger network of support for this great nation’s Veterans and military personnel.




At Accenture Federal Services, our people are committed to supporting military veterans and their families.

Our people's passion for making everyday life better for veterans drives the work we do with and for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, our investment in programs to reskill and hire veterans, and the many talents contributed by our people to serve the community.

Through the work he does to recruit, train and hire veterans, Quincy D. Harper Sr. is making a difference in the lives of veterans and their families every day.

Helping veterans find employment is a personal passion for Quincy, who is former military. He connects servicepeople to reskilling programs that help veterans gain in-demand skills, creating new employment opportunities and a smoother transition to life outside the military.

In addition, Quincy mentors veterans on translating their military experience to the civilian workforce, because skills like leadership, resourcefulness and the ability to work under pressure are highly valuable assets in finding employment.
