KB John is proud to be an unwavering supporter and champion for transitioning veterans, regardless of where they are on their journey from active-duty military service to civilian life. Since 2011, our founder, Pat Roche, has been deeply involved in aiding these remarkable individuals in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Our commitment to veterans runs deep, and we are honored to have our roots intertwined with their stories of resilience and courage.
Recently, we've forged meaningful partnerships with esteemed organizations like the Hiring Our Heroes Foundation and the Honor Foundation at Fort Lewis, WA. In fact, KB John's very first hire was the spouse of an active service member of the U.S. Coast Guard, made possible through the Hiring Our Heroes Foundation. These collaborations allow us to expand our reach and provide comprehensive support to transitioning veterans, ensuring they have the resources and assistance they need to thrive in civilian life.
From refining resumes to conducting mock interviews, organizing company tours, or simply sharing coffee meetups, Pat Roche and the KB John team are dedicated to amplifying their impact on transitioning veterans. Driven by a profound desire to give back to the nation and the people who have imbued his life with purpose, Pat Roche's commitment to serving others remains steadfast. He understands the challenges that veterans face during their transition and is passionate about helping them overcome obstacles and achieve success.
At KB John, we believe it's imperative for each transitioning member to recognize the immense value they bring to the table. Whether in a large corporation or a small enterprise, the skills, dedication, and experiences of our veterans undoubtedly have a positive impact. Through our veteran outreach program, we aim to equip heroes for civilian victory, ensuring they not only find meaningful employment but also thrive in their new roles.
