SAS recognizes the valuable skills and experience veterans bring to our workforce. We honor the service and sacrifice of military families and pledge to support you on your next career journey.
SAS VETS Internships
Veteran Employment, Training and Support (VETS) is designed to provide a valuable work experience to students or graduates who are transitioning from the military into the civilian workforce and have a desire to work in the tech field. The goal of the VETS program is to provide talented veterans with an opportunity to work in a civilian corporate work environment, learn about technical career paths, receive mentorship and coaching, and make meaningful contributions to our organization. If you are currently enrolled in an accredited degree program, serving in the US military, a military veteran or spouse, and are looking for the next step to build your career, the SAS intern program is a perfect fit for you.
Free SAS® Programming for Veterans and Family Members
In partnership with the Institute for Veterans and Military Families, SAS offers two free SAS programming courses at 14 military installations around the US and online. Participants can receive vouchers to sit for SAS certification exams without charge. A study of 54 million employee profiles on PayScale.com identified knowledge of SAS as the No. 1 career skill that translates into salary bumps. Read more about free programming courses for veterans and their spouses.
Members of the reserves are encouraged to take care of The Triad: Their family, their civilian employer and the Air Force. I am now lucky enough to work with SAS, an employer that supports its own triad: work, life and duty.
