Partnering with the U.S. Army Reserve
Guest contributor Frank Taylor is a vice president and chief security officer at GE, and a retired U.S. Air Force brigadier general.
I was back in familiar territory yesterday at the Pentagon to sign a GE U.S. Army Reserve memorandum of agreement. As a military veteran, I’m very excited about this signing to start an employer partnership to recruit and train soldiers for positions across our company.
GE employs more than 11,000 active reservists and veterans in our U.S. workforce. As such, we are experienced in helping veterans and reservists adjust to life in the private sector. As part of the partnership, we are guaranteeing priority consideration for job interviews for all qualified participating soldiers no later than 30 days after completing military occupational specialty training.
This partnership is a great opportunity for us to interview qualified candidates with leadership, integrity and hard work experience.
Lieutenant Genernal Stultz, chief, Army Reserve and commanding general, Army Reserve Command, attended the signing. It was such an honor to be a part of this event with this great man.

This is very encouraging
I am truly excited about this endeavor. Being a retired Air Force veteran, I know for a fact that this resource for potential employees will definitely benefit GE. Thanks GE for your support of our Military Veterans.
This story is real bright spot considering todays ecomony and the war on terrorism we have been experiencing. Giving military veterans a great opportunity after their service to their country. Thank you GE and Frank Taylor for leading this initiative and developing the Army Reserve Employer Partnership Program.
Please provide more information on how we can get involved and help out from our respective business units!
Thank you Shawn! Our program manager of military staffing and recruiting, Dave Ferguson, will be sure to let you know.
I’m very impressed GE. Keep leading the charge and the great work GE, our veterans deserve access to better opportunities than our typical educational and private institutions are offering. Way to “support the troops” with actions.
