Some of Union Pacific's first employees were Civil War veterans, and throughout our more than 160-year history, we've consistently supported the military – whether by moving troops and supplies, or by providing good jobs for veterans and active-duty soldiers. We recognize that members of the U.S. military are dedicated individuals who bring unique experience and skills to Union Pacific. Currently, more than 17% of our employees have military experience, with some still active in the National Guard or Reserves.
Transitioning Veterans
You've got proven leadership skills, early career management skills, adaptability, comfort with working in challenging environments and a performance-oriented work ethic. You're the perfect fit for us and we are the perfect fit for you.
We've helped thousands of servicemen and servicewomen make the transition to civilian life and we can help you as well.
Our recruiters connect with most military transition and education offices, actively participate in career fairs, host information sessions and employer panels and serve on local military committees and boards.
UP VETS
UP VETS, our veteran employee resource group (ERG) was created to help attract, develop and retain veterans within our company. The group is open to all employees and gives military veterans a chance to connect with other employees throughout the system as they transition into the company and begin to navigate their careers. As a member of UP VETS, you will have immediate access to a network of fellow service members who provide a constant source of camaraderie and mentorship.
