FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Operation: Job Ready Veterans Named to the Military Times 2026 Best for Vets Employers List
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (November 13, 2026) – Operation: Job Ready Veterans (OJRV) is proud to announce it has been named to the Military Times 2026 Best for Vets: Employers list, a national recognition of organizations that demonstrate a strong commitment to hiring, supporting, and retaining veterans, service members, and military family members. This designation marks the second consecutive year OJRV has earned a place on the list.
The Military Times Best for Vets: Employers ranking is based on a rigorous, voluntary survey that evaluates organizations on their military-connected recruiting practices, policies, benefits, and workplace support. Being named to the list reflects how OJRV lives out its mission not only through the services it provides to clients but also in how it builds and supports its own team.
“At OJRV, we don’t just help veterans and military families find meaningful careers; we build our own team around those same values. Many of the people who come to us for help are met by staff members who have worn the uniform or supported someone who did, and that shared experience is at the heart of how we serve,” said OJRV Executive Director Gene Anderson. “Being named a Best for Vets Employer again is a powerful affirmation that we practice what we teach. We are grateful to Military Times for this recognition and to our staff, partners, and supporters who make this work possible every day.”
Since 2007, OJRV has helped veterans, transitioning service members, and military family members navigate the move from military service to the civilian workforce. OJRV’s employment readiness training, career transition support, and job placement services help clients at what is often an intensely challenging and stressful time, reducing uncertainty and setting clients on a path toward meaningful, sustainable careers.
