Focus: Honor service and hire veterans
Veterans bring a unique set of skills, experiences and backgrounds to the workplace and our communities. At International Paper, we are grateful for the sacrifices our U.S. military veterans have made. We also recognize the value and skills that veterans have to offer: the proven ability to lead teams in ambiguous and challenging situations, learn new skills and concepts, and deliver timely results. One way we show our gratitude is by providing opportunities at all levels and professional areas.
As we transition from veteran-friendly to veteran-ready, our IP Vets employee network is creating a corporate culture that promotes veteran visibility, recruitment, retention and awareness. An open and inclusive group, IP Vets is made up of International Paper employees who are veterans of their respective countries’ armed forces and those who support veterans.
In June 2023, IP Vets partnered with IP Recruiting and American Corporate Partners to host a LinkedIn Live recruiting lunch and learn. To date, this event has resulted in over 250 veterans joining our talent network, which our recruiters use to create pipelines of potential candidates. We collect resumes and contact information from attendees so we can send them notifications about job openings and IP updates, and keep them informed about our efforts with military recruiting.
We also established a partnership with the National Manufacturing Institute’s Heroes MAKE America program. This partnership seeks to build connections between the military community and the manufacturing industry. In addition to hosting a virtual career fair in November, which welcomed more than 370 participants, International Paper is also participating in the Heroes MAKE America training program at our Savannah, Georgia facility.
