NCI Named to Victory Media's 2016 Military Friendly® Employers List

RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

NCI, Inc. NCIT, a leading provider of information technology (IT) and professional services and solutions to U.S. Federal Government agencies, announced today it earned the 2016 Military Friendly® Employer and Military Spouse Friendly Employer® designation by Victory Media, publisher of G.I. Jobs® and Military Spouse. Companies competed for the elite Military Friendly® Employer title by completing a data-driven survey, with data independently tested by EY (Ernst & Young) based upon the weightings and methodology established by Victory Media and its Advisory Board. Criteria for the survey included a benchmark score across key programs and policies, such as the strength of company military recruiting efforts, percentage of new hires with prior military service, retention programs for veterans, and company policies on National Guard and Reserve service.

"NCI is committed to hiring military talent and we are proud to receive this recognition again for 2016," said Brian J. Clark, NCI's president and CEO. "It just makes sense. Our military veterans are a dedicated, educated and hard-working part of our workforce, and we are honored to have them serving at every level of our company."

Now in its 13th year, Military Friendly® Employers is the premier resource for transitioning service members and spouses seeking civilian employment. Each year, companies taking the survey are held to a higher standard than the previous year via improved methodology, criteria and weightings developed with the assistance of an Advisory Board comprising leaders in the higher education and military recruitment community. A full list of board members can be found at MilitaryFriendly.com/advisory-board.

"Companies that have earned the 2016 Military Friendly® Employer award have exceptionally strong hiring programs and meaningful careers for transitioning service members and spouses," said Daniel Nichols, chief product officer of Victory Media and Navy Reserve veteran. "Our Military Friendly® employers are moving the needle beyond answering ‘why hire military'—they are truly aligning their jobs and recruiting efforts with Military Friendly® educators to translate military competencies into civilian jobs."

NCI is showcased with other 2016 Military Friendly® Employers in the December issue of G.I. Jobs® magazine and the January 2016 issue of Military Spouse Magazine, and on MilitaryFriendly.com.
