About Us

Our Military and Veterans Employee Resource Group offers support, networking, and development opportunities for military and veteran employees through community outreach and engagement.

A Message from One of Our Leaders

“Helping to lead the Military and Veterans Employee Resource Group has allowed me to connect with veterans, their families, and supporters across Seagate and enjoy camaraderie that I missed after leaving the service. When I was deployed in the Minnesota Army National Guard, Seagate offered strong support and allowed me to feel confident in my role.”

Military Transition Through Skillbridge

We are proud to partner with Skillbridge, a work program offered by the Department of Defense that lasts up to six months for soldiers transitioning out of the military. At Seagate, we greatly value the skills and experience soldiers possess. This program, which can be completed remotely, gives soldiers the chance to work for a global company, experience a dynamic corporate culture, and find passion for their work in new ways.

Seagate & Skillbridge in Action

By utilizing their military background, our veterans are determined to solve problems and make a difference.

“One of the most challenging transitions anyone can go through is a significant career shift. My transition from military service to corporate was seamless thanks to the sincere support I instantly received from many former service members within Seagate's Military and Veterans Employee Resource Group. I feel included and well adapted to the culture here and genuinely love this group!”
