The VA Veterans Experience Office would like to invite you to a Lunch N Learn session with Walgreens to learn about employment and educational opportunities they are offering to Veterans in your communities. Hear from Walgreens and learn how you can connect Veterans to local employment opportunities.
Helping Veterans with Educational and Retail Opportunities (HERO) Program
The Walgreens HERO Program is an exciting opportunity for our Veterans to bring their expertise and leadership skills into a transitional career such as retail management. Through this initiative, Walgreens has a vision to hire 5,000 veterans over the course of five years into entry-level management roles, such as assistant store manager trainee (ASM-T) and shift lead (SFL), while enhancing leadership skills in a business setting. HERO Program participants will also have the opportunity to work towards their bachelor's degree with tuition assistance and discounts available*
Benefits to the program include: On the job mentorship, New team member and program support, New student support through Southern New Hampshire University, LEAP Program Retail Management Training - Plus more!
Walgreens is also proud to offer Military Leave and Military Bridge Pay to eligible team members and employee store discounts are extended to spouses and eligible dependents.
*Your GI bill paired with discounted tuition through SNHU, provides a potential of 80-90% coverage of tuition costs to achieve a bachelor's degree through this program. SNHU will work with each individual Veteran through admission process.
VEO has set up a virtual Lunch N Learn with Walgreens representatives to share information on employment opportunities available for Veterans.
