Aramark (NYSE: ARMK) is the leading U.S.-based provider of food, facilities and uniform services and proudly employs thousands of military veterans, active service members and their family members. ACP assists returning veterans and active duty spouses with the transition to their post-military careers through one-on-one mentoring, networking and online career advice.

“This Veterans Day, we honor and re-affirm our gratitude to all our veterans, active duty servicemen and women, and their families for all they have given for their country,” said Ash Hanson, Chief Diversity & Sustainability Officer for Aramark. “We recognize the unique skillset and experience veterans bring to our organization, and we’re proud to partner with ACP to help these extraordinary men and women develop long-term careers with Aramark.”

“All of us at ACP are delighted that Aramark is joining our program,” said Sidney E.
