Hiring Veterans in Digital Advertising

At 212NYC we believe diversity hiring is more than an initiative, it’s the right way to hire and expand our industry. Our goal is to provide programming and resources to help hire diverse talent in the right places. In our 2nd annual Veteran's Day event, we will explore how to recruit, hire and educate veterans on transitioning to a civilian career in digital advertising. 

Military veterans may not immediately think about a career in digital advertising when they are envisioning their perfect post-military career, but this rapidly growing industry offers many opportunities for Vets with communications and analytic skills. This webinar will cover:

  • Military skills that transfer to a career in digital advertising

    • Adapting to unpredictable situations

    • The value of an organizational philosophy and framework

    • Direct insights into how tactics align with strategy

  • Resources for veterans who want to explore this career

  • Benefits of hiring veterans

  • Where to recruit find qualified candidates

  • How to support Veterans in the workplace and more

The resources and discussions shared are sure to help support veterans, recruiters, and hiring managers build a pipeline of Vets into our industry.
