NATIONAL HIRE A VETERAN DAY | JULY 25
Every day, hundreds of our military personnel leave the service in search of civilian employment. On July 25th, National Hire a Veteran Day reminds employers to consider veterans to fill their open positions. As highly trained, qualified individuals, they are ideal for numerous trades.
#HireAVeteranDay
Legislation protects separating service members as they enter the civilian workforce. However, the best way any potential employer can honor a veteran is to hire one!
While other service members continue to serve in points unknown, the day provides their returning brothers and sisters with an opportunity. Many skills gained in the military world transfer to the civilian world. Both small and large businesses benefit from the talent of our veterans, too. Regardless of the position, find qualified candidates in a range of fields. For example:
- Information Technology
- Engineering
- Cyber Security
- Sales
- Marketing
- Management
- Finance
- Healthcare
- Skilled Trades
Free training for veterans can be found at https://www.uso.org/skillsoft
