Houston, Texas – Oceaneering International, Inc., announces today that it has earned the 2024 Military Friendly® Employer designation – Rank Silver.
As an authorized DOD SkillBridge organization, Oceaneering works with each of the applicable branches of U.S. military services, and respective installation commanders, to develop SkillBridge training programs for their personnel. We offer active-duty service members – with transferable skills and experience – approved unpaid internship opportunities for in-demand career fields with a high probability of post-service employment. The internships start during the service member’s 180-day window prior to separation from active duty.
“Oceaneering is proud to earn the Silver designation in the 2024 Military Friendly® Employer ranking,” said Holly Kriendler, Senior Vice President and Chief HR Officer at Oceaneering. “This designation reaffirms our company’s commitment to employing military veterans and transitioning service members and demonstrates that our programs are successful. Veterans possess excellent skills and experience and bring unique perspectives to our global workplace that align our company’s Core Values.”
The Military Friendly® Silver Designation is awarded to companies who meet the requirements and score within 20 percent of the 10th ranking Employer in their category.
Institutions earning the Military Friendly® Employer designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. Over a thousand companies participated in the 2024 Military Friendly® Employer survey.
Methodology, criteria, and weightings for the designation were determined by VIQTORY with input from the Military Friendly® Advisory Council of independent leaders in the military recruitment community. Final ratings were determined by combining an organization’s survey score with an assessment of the organization’s ability to meet thresholds for Recruitment, New Hire Retention, Employee Turnover, and Promotion and Advancement of veterans and military employees.
Oceaneering will be showcased along with other 2024 Military Friendly® Employers in the December issue of G.I. Jobs® magazine and on MilitaryFriendly.com.
