Fifteen veterans representing several branches of the U.S. Armed
Forces are currently participating in the inaugural NYSE Euronext
Veteran Associate Program (VAP), a pioneering initiative that
provides recent military veterans from across America with valuable
business experience in the financial services industry during an
eight week engagement at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). A key
component of the Program is the Executive Educator series, which is
comprised of professional and financial market educational sessions
presented by the NYSE Euronext Senior Executive and Management
team, as well as external industry experts. NYSE Euronext is one of
only a few financial services organizations to have a program
specifically designed for military veterans. The company’s program
dedicates 20% of all available New York City-based internship
positions for military veterans.

"Our heroes returning home from military service can also be
stars in business, as their training, skills and discipline
translates extremely well to the private sector,” said Duncan L.
Niederauer, CEO, NYSE Euronext. “Through our Veteran Associate
Program we are trying to help aid this transition by providing a
truly unique learning experience about our company, financial
markets and the business community. This program benefits them
personally and professionally, enhances their employment prospects,
and also gives us the opportunity to learn a great deal from them
and their perspectives. We encourage other organizations to do
the same.”

with Mr. Niederauer rang today’s Closing Bell® at the New York
Stock Exchange, is comprised of:

training, experience and adequate resources in order to obtain
permanent employment. Each veteran is partnered with sponsors from
NYSE’s newly formed Veteran Employee Resource Group, which consists
of NYSE managers and employees who have served in the Armed Forces
or who support veteran employees.
