Hiring Military Members & Families is Good for Our Company and Community
Leadership, teamwork, service and ethics — at Comcast NBCUniversal, these are values we embody in our relationships with our employees, customers and partners. We are honored to share those values with the military men and women who serve our Nation.
We are proud to be one of America’s most military-friendly employers. In 2017, we officially surpassed our goal of hiring of 10,000 Veterans, National Guard and Reserve members, and military spouses across our company. But we’re not done yet.
We are doubling down on our commitment to hiring current and former members of the military community. As a company, we aim to hire at least 21,000 members of the military community by 2021. We know members of the military community have a core skill set that makes our teams stronger. We continue to embrace the military community – because it is the right thing to do for our business and for those who give back to our Country.

Hiring is just one of the many ways we support those who serve. We also:
- Offer extra support, flexibility, and benefits, making it easier for our employees who are deployed and their families to balance their civilian and military commitments.
- Expanded Internet Essentials to include low-income veterans, making low-cost monthly internet service available to veterans that depend on internet service in their homes.
- Provide special service offers for our customers who have served.
- Identify and work with veteran-owned businesses as part of our supply chain.
- Partner with veteran-serving nonprofit organizations, including Project Sanctuary and Freedom Service Dogs.
