For years SoCalGas® has been a proud supporter of our veteran community. We continue to be committed to hiring and retaining military veterans, veterans with disabilities and active military personnel. We support our uniformed services employees with a variety of resources and career guidance when they return to work after active duty
VALOR (Veterans Advancing Leading and Optimizing Results)
This internal program is dedicated to supporting military service members and veterans, both within the company and in the communities we serve. VALOR has four main objectives:
- Recruitment focused on attracting and hiring veterans, and transitioning military service members
- Onboarding that helps provide a smooth transition for newly-hired SoCalGas veteran/active military employees
- Development focused on increasing competencies of employees who have no exposure to military cultures, and identifying key developmental needs for SoCalGas veterans
- Outreach support for veteran organizations, veteran-owned businesses, and customer programs
Organizations We Support
We fund organizations that help veterans and team up with those that provide employment, philanthropic and volunteer opportunities, such as:
- Soldiers’ Angels
- Mayor's Office of Veteran Affairs - Los Angeles
- UCLA Anderson School of Management’s Entrepreneurship Boot Camp for Veterans with Disabilities
- Riverside Community College’s Annual Veterans Economic and Business Development Summit
