North Carolina is home to numerous military installations, but nearly 8,000 veterans leave Fort Bragg from retirement or separation each year. “Many times, if they haven’t had a chance to get out and know what is in the area, they return home. But there may not be jobs back home”, -- William McMillian, Transition Assistance Program (TAP)

High Point is a city that has a collaborative mindset, a resourceful, helpful heart, and specifically a welcoming, growing Veteran community. 

In this spirit, Business High Point – Chamber of Commerce, High Point Heroes Center, and Visit High Point joined together in late 2022 to launch High Point Veterans Initiative as a local pilot initiative to collaboratively position High Point to recruit, engage, and support transitioning veterans and their families, leveraging: 

• Current talent attainment consortium best practices  

• An established local Veteran Support Service Organization  

• A growing connection to the network of local, state, and national veteran talent  

• Community resource opportunities 

• Visit High Point and their commitment to grow High Point’s Visitor Economy as a Shared Value 

Our mission is to strategically serve transitioning veterans, professionally, personally and holistically, with the highest level of engagement.
