Veteran Leadership Training Program
Veteran Leadership Program - United States
There is a certain type of person, proven to be loyal and dependable, who puts the needs of others above their own and is used to remaining calm and focused under the most stressful situations. Wouldn’t it be great for people like this to have a home at ICON?
ICON Veteran Leadership Transition Program (VLTP) is designed to recruit those who have served in the armed forces, providing the training and development to ultimately transition them into Project Management roles at ICON Biotech Solutions.
The program is built on mentorship and hands-on training, which provides qualified candidates the skills and knowledge necessary for a smooth and confident transition from a military career to a successful and fulfilling second career at ICON Biotech Solutions. As a result of the comprehensive VLTP training, even those without a background in clinical research will be equipped with the knowledge and ability to succeed in this unique industry.
Participants undergo intensive training over the course of 18 to 24 months, under the guidance of mentors from different levels within the organisation. This builds a solid foundation and progressively works up to more complex subjects and tasks. By program’s end, participants will have gained competency in more than 30 project management areas of responsibility.
A number of current ICON employees, who are themselves veterans, have a personal understanding of the background and experiences of the program’s participants. They serve as program sponsors and mentors along with teammates who have successfully completed the VLTP.

John's transition from the Navy to ICON Plc
Since its launch in August 2016, the VLTP has successfully transitioned veterans through this carefully designed process. ICON is proud of this innovative program to welcome veterans aboard, and salutes all veterans who have so selflessly given of themselves through their service.

I enjoy the fact that we get to work on projects that will eventually help people that are suffering. It makes it easier to go to work everyday when you are working on something that helps people. After leaving the military I was excited to find another job where the work I would be doing would actually make a difference. It is also great to work for a company that understands what my previous time in the military brings to the table as an Associate Project Manager to start with and now a Project Manager.
Richard Wells
Project Manager
The past few years while serving on active duty with the Air Force, I basically lived out of my suitcase because I was never home. I wanted a position in the civilian world that would provide a better work life balance and flexibility in my schedule. At ICON the transition from the military to the civilian world made me a bit nervous, but the Veteran Leadership Transition Program (VLTP) has made this transition easy. The amount of support and mentoring that I have received through the VLTP has been fantastic.
Jess Neff
Associate Project Manager
My functional manager and mentors have been phenomenal helping me adjust to the clinical research industry. The Veterans Leadership Transition Program (VLTP) that ICON developed has made my transition after 20 years in the United States Marine Corps into corporate life an easy and fun process. This terrific group of veterans have been instrumental in completing my first year. The comradery and acceptance has made me feel right at home, The VLTP has helped me capitalize on my strengths and and develop any gaps in my knowledge.
Stephen Mitchell
Associate Project Manager
As a transitioning veteran, I now have the opportunity to give back what was given to me; I provide value and work towards something larger than myself. ICON has provided an environment that allows me to be successful personally and professionally. My teams are fantastic; collaborative, gritty, and dedicated. I have leaders that care about our team and we all understand the goal of bringing life changing drugs to those who need them most.
