ROCKVILLE, Md., Nov. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- A new nonprofit organization, NS2 Serves, inviting U.S. military service veterans to apply for a new training and employment assistance program. 

SAP National Security Services, Inc.^™ (SAP NS2 ^™) established NS2 Serves to offer training courses in I.T. solutions geared for national security applications.  Over a three-month period, full-time participants will be trained in business process integration, military supply chain management (SCM), communication and "soft" skills, and case study preparation.  Trainees will also have weekly discussions with a business mentor and access to an exclusive job fair with potential employers.
