The International Franchise Association’s VetFran initiative has strengthened its partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Hiring our Heroes program thanks to a newly forged relationship with Capital One Financial Corporation.

The partnership is part of the IFA’s Operation Enduring Opportunity, a campaign to hire 75,000 veterans and military spouses and 5,000 wounded warriors by the end of 2014. New hires may be recruited as franchisees or as team members.

As part of the partnership, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Capital One made a sizable, $80,000 contribution to the International Franchise Association.

VetFran had an opportunity to exhibit this past Friday at the Capital One sponsored Job Fair for Veterans and Military Spouses in Washington, D.C.
