Announced on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, 2017. IBM announced it will train and hire 2,000 veterans of the U.S. Military after a meeting with President Donald J. Trump. IBM joins a growing list of companies announcing major expansions in the age of Trump. The list includes 45,000 new jobs announced by Exxon Mobil, 10,000 new jobs at Kroger, 10,000 jobs at Walmart, another 10,000 jobs to be offered by U.S. Steel, and 50,000 by SoftBank Telecommunications, among many others. How different than Obama who offered Hamburger Flipper and Hot Dog server jobs.
The CEO of IBM is Ginni Rometty and she is part of the president’s business advisory board. She reported the goal of IBM is to have 20 brand new P-TECH schools opened in this country that will allow train veterans to be certified over the course of four years. Veterans will be trained in IBM programs used by national security, cyber security, and law enforcement agencies.
Great news from a great man and because of that great man who is our president.
