For many veterans, leaving the military marks the start of a new mission—one that can feel uncertain, exciting, and sometimes overwhelming all at once. At Apex Service Partners, this transition is taken seriously. With nearly 70% of its leadership team having proudly served, the organization understands firsthand both the challenges and the potential opportunities that come with leaving military life and stepping into civilian careers.
Transitioning from service to civilian work isn't always straightforward. Veterans often possess leadership, discipline, and technical skills that are highly valuable—but translating them into traditional career paths can be challenging. Recognizing this gap, Apex has built programs and partnerships to connect veterans with opportunities where their talents can shine. The goal is simple: help veterans find roles that provide both purpose and growth.
One success story comes through the partnership with the Special Operators Transition Foundation (SOTF). More than twenty veterans have successfully moved into new roles, including several who have taken on leadership positions. In 2025 alone, five veterans were placed in key roles, including one appointed as Chief of Staff for a regional office—a testament to the impact of guided mentorship and structured support.
Similarly, the relationship with ForgeNow has opened doors for nearly thirty graduates to join various brands nationwide. By attending graduation events and career fairs, the team meets veterans in person, providing guidance and creating opportunities to connect their military experience to meaningful civilian work. These moments of connection often make all the difference in a veteran's career journey.
RecruitMilitary career fairs further extend this reach, giving service members the opportunity to explore new roles, network, and gain clarity on how their skills translate to the civilian workforce. By showing up where veterans already are, the organization helps ensure no one has to navigate this transition alone. The Talent Acquisition Team attends these events at military bases alongside Forge Now.
But support doesn't end with job placement at Apex Service Partners. Through sponsorships of organizations like the Wounded Warrior Project, the company has invested nearly half a million dollars to assist veterans facing physical, emotional, and mental challenges. Engagements such as the MBA Veterans Conference provide another layer of support, with company leaders offering guidance on translating military experience into professional success—whether in business education or executive roles. Most recently, the Market Area Presidents participated in a Veterans Day panel in New York, speaking to51 Veterans and offering insight, encouragement, and a firsthand leadership perspective as they navigate their next chapter.
What guides these efforts is a mission-driven philosophy that goes beyond the workplace. For Apex, helping veterans succeed is about more than filling positions—it's about empowering individuals, fostering leadership, and creating meaningful opportunities that allow them to continue serving in new capacities. This commitment has been recognized nationally, with Apex named one of the Top Veteran-Friendly Companies by U.S. Veterans Magazine. Every program, partnership, and initiative reflects a genuine dedication to giving veterans the chance to thrive.
Ultimately, the impact is both personal and far-reaching. Veterans gain meaningful careers, organizations gain skilled, disciplined professionals, and communities benefit from leaders who continue to make a difference. By creating pathways for veterans, Apex demonstrates that service doesn't end when military duty does—it simply evolves into new opportunities to lead, contribute, and make an impact.
