AT&T Inc.
28
 After five years with the Army’s 101st Airborne
Division, Derrik Wise was ready to return to civilian
life. But first he needed a job. The company at
the top of his list? AT&T.
“In Afghanistan, I would get AT&T calling cards in
care packages. That let me talk with my family
when I needed it the most,” says Derrik. “So when
I got back to the United States and heard AT&T
was hiring veterans, I decided I wanted to be
part of this company.”
“AT&T has a nearly century-long history of
supporting active-duty personnel and their
families, as well as veterans,” says Scott
Smith, senior vice president, human resources
operations, AT&T. “They bring a mix of skills —
including leadership, integrity and service to
others — that is a great match for our business.”
In recent years, we’ve accelerated our efforts to help
veterans find jobs — with AT&T or elsewhere. That
led us to become one of the first 10 corporations
to join the 100,000 Jobs Mission. As of the end
of 2012, more than 50,000 veterans had found
jobs through the initiative … well on the way to
the goal of 100,000 jobs by 2020. And in 2012,
the number of veterans hired by AT&T tripled
to nearly 1,000.
Our employees also support the military community.
A group dedicated to supporting active duty and
veteran employees has more than 5,000 members.
And in 2012 nearly 300 employee volunteers with our
Careers for Vets program provided job placement
and career advice to more than 2,200 veterans.
“AT&T’s support and the large military community
here reinforce what I already knew,” says Derrik.
“This is the place for me.”4
