SDL Receives the 2025 HIRE Vets Gold Medallion Award

December 11, 2025

We're honored to receive the 2025 HIRE Vets Gold Medallion Award, a prestigious federal recognition for our efforts in recruiting, employing, and retaining veterans.

SDL was recently honored as a recipient of the 2025 Honoring Investments in Recruiting and Employing American Military Veterans (HIRE Vets) Gold Medallion Award. This prestigious recognition stems from the HIRE Vets Act of 2017. The award program, developed by the Department of Labor Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (VETS), recognizes employers of all sizes for their exceptional efforts in recruiting, employing, and retaining veterans. It is the only federal-level award that celebrates outstanding achievement in veteran employment.

The Value Veterans Bring

This recognition highlights what we’ve always known—veterans bring incredible value to our mission. Their experience, discipline, and leadership strengthen our organization, and many of them have witnessed firsthand how the technologies we develop make a real-world impact. Earning the HIRE Vets Gold Medallion reflects our ongoing commitment not only to hiring veterans but also to supporting their continued service and professional growth. This honor belongs to our entire team, especially our veteran employees, who embody the excellence and dedication this award represents.
