Our Commitment to US Veterans
At Blackstone, we firmly believe in providing for those that served the United States. We are an industry leader in supporting the employment and professional development of veterans and military families within our firm, across our portfolio and through our nonprofit partnerships. Veterans bring unique value to our businesses and we’re committed to supporting their growth.
The Blackstone Veterans Hiring Initiative
Through the Veterans Hiring Initiative, more than 100,000 veterans, veteran spouses and caregivers have been hired across our portfolio companies since 2013.
Veterans Network
The Veterans Network, one of four affinity groups at Blackstone, cultivates a community of military personnel and advocates to recruit and retain talented veterans.
How Blackstone’s MINT Program Helps Veterans with Workforce Transitions
The Blackstone Military Internship Program (MINT) supports active-duty veterans as they transition from serving our country to the next phase of their career. Program alumni share their experience at Blackstone and how MINT helped them translate their military leadership experiences into a job in financial services.
Promoting our Partner Organizations
The Blackstone Charitable Foundation has committed nearly $1 million to nonprofit organizations supporting veterans. We’re able to promote the educational and professional development of U.S. military families beyond our business, through the dedicated work of these partners.
