New this year, Military Friendly® Awards showcased the most powerful and effective programs of more than 200 companies and 1,200 post-secondary schools that were designated as “Military Friendly®” in November. Of those designated, 154 employers and 541 schools were recognized for excellence in different categories after successfully completing a 2017 Military Friendly® survey, which allowed them to be considered for the Awards programs.
“We are thrilled to be recognized as a Military Friendly® company and set an example for what it means to work with and for our veterans,” said Dennis J.
