Ukpeaġvik Iñupiat Corporation

UIC Ranks No. 6 on Forbes' America's Best Employers for Veterans 2026! Ukpeaġvik Iñupiat Corporation (UIC) has been recognized by Forbes as the No. 6 Best Employer for Veterans in the nation! At UIC, we believe our greatest strength is our people. Across our family of companies, veterans bring leadership, experience, adaptability, and a commitment to service that strengthens our organization every day. For many veterans, transitioning from military service means finding a new mission and continuing to contribute to something larger than themselves. Across the UIC Family of Companies, our veteran employees continue supporting national defense, military readiness, and the men and women serving in uniform. At the same time, their work supports another meaningful mission: creating long-term value for our Iñupiat shareholders through business success, employment opportunities, scholarships, workforce development, and initiatives that help perpetuate Iñupiat culture and traditions. Our commitment to veterans also reflects a shared tradition of service. Generations of Iñupiat shareholders have served our country in uniform, and many continue serving their communities as leaders, mentors, and advocates long after their military careers. Guided by traditional Iñupiat values, including cooperation, respect for others, and humility, we're committed to building a workplace where veterans can apply their skills, grow professionally, and build lasting careers. To our veteran employees across the UIC family of companies, thank you for your service, dedication, and the contributions you make every day. This recognition reflects the strength of our workforce and the values that bring us together.
