Since 2013, the hotel giant had made 10,000 military hires in the U.S., and exceeded its goal for what it called Operation: Opportunity two years ahead of its original deadline mark.
“Military veterans and their families have made incredible sacrifices for our country, and we are strongly committed to ensuring they have great jobs when they return home from service,” says Christopher J. Nassetta, Hilton president and CEO. “We’ve always felt strongly about this issue since our founder Conrad Hilton himself was a military veteran, and we are very proud of our veteran Team Members who have contributed so much to our company.”
