Keeping the Magic Alive for Children Living With Life-Threatening Illnesses

Creating Careers for Veterans: A Blueprint

Integrity, initiative, judgment, courage and enthusiasm – these are traits businesses across America seek in job candidates. They also happen to be qualities servicemen and servicewomen develop in the military.

I witness this positive impact daily. More than 2,000 veterans work at Duke Energy, from engineers who operate our nuclear fleet, to lineworkers who connect our customers to the grid. Each one plays a critical role in powering the lives of 25 million people.
