“We are excited for the opportunities our partnership with Simplilearn will yield for the service members participating in our Corporate Fellowship Program,” said Eric Eversole, vice president, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and president, Hiring Our Heroes. “One challenge many veterans face as they transition from active duty is communicating their experience in terms employers recognize.
