IBM has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Directorate General Resettlement (DGR) to engage ex-servicemen in work opportunities and facilitate their integration into the civilian workforce. The MoU aims to tap into the talent pool of ex-servicemen for relevant job opportunities at IBM and its affiliates.
IBM aims to bridge the gap between military service and civilian employment by offering veterans professional growth and personal development opportunities. DGR and IBM will collaborate, on an ongoing basis, to identify ex-servicemen with skill set and aptitude suitable for various open positions within the company.
After assessment & short listing of candidates, IBM will leverage its resources and expertise to facilitate the recruitment, training, and up skilling of ex-servicemen for those roles. DGR, an Inter Service organization, assists Ex-Servicemen in training and acquiring skills for corporate and industry requirements, facilitating their resettlement through a second career. Maj Gen Sharad Kapur, YSM, SM, Director General (Resettlement) said, “Our partnership with IBM India would bring in more visibility of our Ex-servicemen to the industry and corporates and help in achieving the objectives of providing skilled manpower and giving a dignified second career to our Ex-servicemen.”
