Helping returning service members build meaningful careers
Our nation's veterans, service members, and military spouses often face complex barriers to civilian employment. FedEx works with Hiring Our Heroes (HOH) to provide transitioning service members and their spouses with professional training, hands-on work experience, networking, and direct connections to employers through HOH Career Summits and the HOH Corporate Fellowship Program. These programs help veterans smoothly transition into the next phase of their career and have the added benefit of helping employers access top talent and better understand the veteran workforce.
Helping women drive social change
Vital Voices invests in women who are leading efforts to advance economic opportunity and social change around the world. Since 2016, FedEx has supported the annual GROW Fellowship, a global business accelerator and leadership development program for women leading for-profit, purpose-driven businesses. The 2023 Vital Voices GROW Fellowship included more than 90 women entrepreneurs from 40 countries and provides women access to training, networks, financing, and markets that will help them grow their business and expand their social impact.
