USDA Celebrates the Success of the “100 Hires in 100 Days” Initiative! Last month, USDA’s Military Spouse and Veterans Program concluded its 100 Hires in 100 Days initiative, capping off 2024 with impressive strides in hiring veterans, disabled veterans, transitioning servicemembers, and military spouses. This effort launched after the MVP Career Fest in early September, an event designed to connect veterans and military spouses with career opportunities at USDA and to raise awareness about the special hiring authorities available to support their employment. We’re proud to celebrate this milestone and continue our commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for those who have served our country and their families.
