Serve With Us
Whether you're active-duty or a veteran transitioning to civilian work, we actively seek candidates who are ready to utilize the skill sets they acquired in the military.
Our talent acquisition team builds direct relationships with military bases across the country to provide veterans with a pipeline to careers at AEP. We're also committed to increasing military hiring through successful partnerships with federal, state, local and non-profit agencies.
Approximately 9% of AEP's employees are military veterans.
Let's Work Together
Interested in learning how your service to our country translates into a rewarding career with us? The skill sets you learned in the military correspond with many of our open positions, and we participate with SkillBridge to serve as a pathway to AEP for transitioning veterans.
“So many of the tasks and roles we have at AEP have a direct correlation to the skill set we used in the military.”
Supporting Our Military Employees
At AEP, our employee resource groups were created to encourage employees to connect and learn more about others who come from different backgrounds. The Military Veteran Employee Resource Group, MVERG, is a resource group whose mission is to promote the roles and contributions of veterans and active-duty military employees, provide professional development and networking opportunities for our members and serve as a liaison between AEP and the veteran and military communities. At AEP, we recognize and appreciate the value military members and veterans bring to our team.
