The Citadel ranked Top 10 Military Friendly Employer
November 16, 2023
The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina, is the only higher education institution to be ranked as a Top 10 Military Friendly® Employer for 2024.
The rankings, which were released Nov. 10, position The Citadel in 8th place among organizations making less than $500,000,000 a year.
“The Citadel could not be more committed to supporting members of the Armed Forces before, during and after their service. We are proud to see this recognition of our efforts to employ and support our veterans,” said The Citadel President Gen. Glenn Walters, USMC (Ret.), ’79. “Hiring more veterans also benefits our cadets, as it allows those who will serve after graduation to learn from those who served before them.”
Institutions earning the Military Friendly® Employer designation were evaluated using both public data sources and survey responses. More than 1,200 companies participated in the 2024 Military Friendly® survey.
“The Citadel’s core values of honor, duty and respect set us apart from other employers,” said Leah Schonfeld, assistant vice president for The Citadel Office of Human Resources. “Our campus culture, heavily inspired by that of the military, provides an ideal and comfortable environment for veterans, no matter how recently they ended their service. We are so pleased to be recognized as a Top 10 employer for veterans.”
The Citadel actively recruits and engages all military members, veterans and their families; for more information on career opportunities, current openings are listed at this link.
