Veterans Support Division

Good morning, 

I  know that Southwest likes to hire veterans. Does Southwest have a veterans Support Division, to ensure the veterans that are hired have access to the benefits available to them through the VA? I would be interested in working in such a Division. If it doesn't exist, I would love to talk with HR to potentially develop such a program

You've posted this three times, and have not received any replies. Maybe that is because SW does not have a dedicated veterans support division.

 

In any case, you are better off asking the airline directly. To do so, click on contact us  (below) and proceed.

I contacted the airline directly. They referred me to this discussion group. I have received a few helpful responses. Just waiting for one of the positions they recommended to open so I can apply.

Southwest has ELGs (Employee Lead Groups) that help support different groups of people. They do have an ELG for Veterans.
