Santa Clara, Calif., Nov. 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Couchbase, the creator of the enterprise-class multicloud to edge NoSQL database, today announced it has partnered with VetsinTech to enable veterans to accelerate their careers in the high-tech industry. Couchbase has joined the VetsinTech employer coalition, offering free training, mentorship, and professional development opportunities to veterans and active duty military transitioning from military to civilian life.
With nearly six million work-eligible veterans in the U.S., underemployment remains one of the greatest issues faced by veterans and military spouses. According to LinkedIn’s 2019 Veteran Opportunity Report, veterans are 15.6% more likely to be underemployed than nonveterans. Underemployment includes those who aren’t fully utilizing skills and abilities, may be working part time while pursuing learning goals, or take temporary or part time work while searching for a better career fit.
VetsinTech is a leading national non-profit dedicated to supporting veterans through tech-based education, employment, and entrepreneurship programs. The organization connects global technology companies with its more than 30,000 members through training and career development programs.
Couchbase’s participation in VetsinTech aligns with the company’s goal to connect veterans and military spouses with tech careers in which they can apply their exceptional training, skills, and experience. With veteran representation within its Executive Team and across key roles in its Engineering, People, and Sales teams, Couchbase continues to recruit transitioning active duty military and veterans to join its increasingly diverse team.
