Empowering Veterans Through Partnership with the Army
Today, Bombardier proudly announces its partnership with the U.S. Army via the Partnership for Your Success (PaYS) Program. This initiative is designed to connect service members with valuable civilian career opportunities, ensuring they receive guaranteed job interviews with participating employers. This strategic alliance showcases Bombardier’s dedication to supporting veterans and aiding in their transition to civilian careers.
Making Connections for Career Transitions
The PaYS Program is not just another employment initiative; it’s a commitment to the men and women who have served in the armed forces. For transitioning U.S. service members, it provides meaningful industry experience particularly within the realms of business aviation and defense. This collaboration aligns with Bombardier’s mission, reinforcing its commitment to building a robust talent pipeline that benefits veterans entering the workforce.
Bombardier's Role as an Employer of Choice
By entering the PaYS network, Bombardier highlights its position as a desirable employer, both within Kansas and on a national scale. With a focus on creating supportive environments for veterans, Bombardier stands as the first aviation company in Kansas to engage with this significant program.
Understanding the PaYS Program
The PaYS Program operates on a simple yet effective premise: it connects soldiers from active, reserve, and national guard duty with employers who value their unique skills and experiences. Qualified service members can participate in this program from the moment they enlist, allowing them to secure guaranteed interviews after completing their service, subject to available job openings.
Expanding Opportunities Across the U.S.
Currently, Bombardier has a significant presence in the U.S. market, complemented by five service centers strategically located throughout the country. Moreover, Bombardier is set to launch a new site in Fort Wayne, which will further enhance job availability for veterans in the aerospace sector. Qualified soldiers looking to transition into civilian roles can explore various career opportunities throughout Bombardier’s extensive network that supports both military and civilian aircraft.
Veteran Support and Community Impact
Steve Patrick, Vice President of Bombardier Defense, commented on the partnership, stating, "Bombardier has an enduring partnership with the U.S. Army, and we are honored to deepen that relationship through our participation in the PaYS program.” This reflects Bombardier’s ongoing commitment to embracing and supporting America’s service members as they navigate their transition to civilian life.
