PRIDE Industries to Hold National Hire a Veteran Event
July 25 is National Hire a Veteran Day. PRIDE Industries is hosting a military veteran recruiting event from 10am to 2pm at their Career Hub in Citrus Heights. Military veterans will be interviewing for a wide range of positions within PRIDE Industries, including jobs in administration, supervising, driving, landscaping, custodial, job coaching, supply chain, and more.
Roughly 200,000 military members retire or separate from the armed services every year, according to the Department of Labor. These veterans bring competitive skills to civilian jobs, along with core values that military service cultivates dedication, teamwork, good communication and pride in getting work done. But finding and competing for civilian positions can be challenging for transitioning veterans. National Hire a Veteran Day aims to inspire employers to recruit and hire veterans by acknowledging the unique skills and values that former soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen bring to the workforce.
PRIDE Industries recognizes that the experience veterans gain serving our country makes them valuable employees. The company currently employs hundreds of veterans in all areas of the organization and has provided support and services to thousands more in the form of job coaching, vocational instruction, and employment placement assistance.
