    Sharp Decisions is also committed to hiring and training post-9/11, tech-savvy U.S. armed forces veterans through our V.E.T.S.â„¢ (Vocation, Education and Training for Service members) Program, but we cannot do it alone. Companies like EmblemHealth, Freddie Mac and Experian have stepped up to bring aboard our highly qualified and skilled veterans. We need more companies like them to take a stand and bring our veterans aboard. Our clients have told us that our veterans are more effective than their college hires because two weeks on the job for them equates to 2-3 years of experience!
