Hire a Veteran!

Over the next several years, many military service men and women will be leaving active duty.  With a reduction in the Defense Department budget and in the number of active duty and reserve military personnel, this will result in numerous well trained and experienced Haz Mat service men and women looking for work.

The current Administration has made the hiring of veterans one of its top priorities.  Many industries – the most recent being the railroad industry – have pledged to hire thousands of veterans in the coming years.  The Veterans Job Bank has been created to act as a central source for veterans seeking to find private sector job openings targeted at veterans.  To find out more about the Veterans Job Bank and to add your company’s job openings to the database, visit https://www.nationalresourcedirectory.gov/home/veterans_job_bank.

As our economy improves and our emergency spill response industry expands and older employees retire, I strongly encourage our SCAA member companies to hire our military veterans.
