Commitment to Veterans
Supporting Veteran Careers
Every year, approximately $17 billion is spent on military training and education, making the U.S. Military one of the top employment training programs in the world.
Today’s transitioning veterans are highly skilled, dedicated and adaptable individuals with an unparalleled work ethic. Conditioned to operate differently than a non-veteran candidate, they possess the ability to thrive in any industry and have a great deal to offer civilian employers.
Partnership with NextOp
Partnership with NextOp
NextOp and Ochsner are partnering together to address the barrier of entry for military healthcare professionals after service. By increasing high-quality employment opportunities for communities in Louisiana and Mississippi, workers may remain and thrive in these areas as economic and professional assets. As the largest private employer in Louisiana, Ochsner has over 40 hospitals and 300 health and urgent care centers across Louisiana and Mississippi.
NextOp and Ochsner will recruit, hire, and train a hybrid military and veteran recruiter to connect the veteran talent population to jobs. Over the course of three years, the goal is to hire 300 veterans into clinical and non-clinical careers with Ochsner.
