Atlanta, GA, Nov. 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InTown Suites is partnering with Hire Heroes USA, to amplify the effort to find jobs for more veterans and military spouses. Hire Heroes USA is a nonprofit organization that provides free employment assistance to thousands of U.S. military members, veterans, and military spouses each year. As part of their partnership, InTown Suites will work closely with Hire Heroes USA to make an even bigger impact on the lives of military families and veterans by connecting them with a wide range of part- and full-time career opportunities in hospitality.
InTown Suites is one of the largest wholly owned extended stay hotel provider in the United States and currently employs veterans in a variety of hospitality careers. With 196 extended stay hotels in 22 states, there are diverse opportunities available to veterans including housekeeping, property maintenance, guest service, and management. The company also provides perks such as no night shifts or Sundays in its InTown locations that are uncommon in hospitality.
Hire Heroes USA works to help military veterans and military spouses find employment opportunities amid what can be challenging circumstances. Frequent moves and the need for flexible part-time and full-time opportunities can make finding fulfilling and steady work difficult. In addition, transitioning back to civilian life can also be a challenge for veterans. The U.S. Department of Labor stated the veteran unemployment rate was 2.7% in September, which was up from 2.4% in the previous month. According to a recent study by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Hiring our Heroes and Syracuse University’s D’Aniello Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF), 32% of active duty spouses surveyed were unemployed.
The partnership aims to directly address many of those challenges. Despite a global shutdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, InTown Suites retained high occupancy rates at most of its locations, giving job stability to its employees. Its operating model, characterized by long-term guest stays, results in apartment-like performance stability, even during economic downturns. This stability coupled with numerous employment benefits makes InTown and Uptown Suites a good match for anyone looking for a new career in hospitality.
