Roseville, Calif., Aug. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For a fourth consecutive year, PRIDE Industries has been named one of the nation’s Best of the Best Top Veteran-Friendly Companies by U.S. Veterans Magazine (USVM). The distinction publicly recognizes those entities that go above and beyond in their support of our nation’s former military personnel in terms of outreach to veterans, military families, and transitioning service members.
“We strive to encourage other companies to follow PRIDE Industries’ lead and ultimately create a workforce that is supportive of our veteran community,” said Mona Lisa Faris, President & Publisher at U.S. Veterans Magazine.
Each year, with an eye on veteran employment, U.S. Veterans Magazine conducts select evaluations of the nation’s employers, law enforcement agencies, veteran outreach programs, and schools. These non-biased studies are a valuable resource for the publication’s readers, job seekers, business owners, students, transitioning veterans, and consumers.
“PRIDE Industries is honored to be recognized as a Best of the Best Top Veteran-Friendly Company by U.S. Veterans Magazine,” said Tim Young, Vice President of Talent Management at PRIDE Industries. “We recognize that the experience veterans gain serving our country makes them valuable employees, and we are dedicated to helping our military veterans of all abilities find sustainable employment.”
PRIDE Industries offers several employment resources for veterans, including its one-of-a-kind I AM ABLE employment helpline [(844) 426-2253], a veterans employee resource group (ERG), and a Military Skills Translator tool that helps veterans match their skills and talent to a civilian career. In addition, PRIDE Industries can help veterans access paid internships as well as mentoring and training programs. And to help other companies increase their hiring of diverse candidates, including military veterans, the company provides recruiting services. Last month, on National Hire a Veteran Day, PRIDE Industries held veteran hiring events at four locations across the country.
