PRIDE Industries Celebrates National Hire a Veteran Day
PRIDE Industries, a leader in employing people with disabilities, recently marked National Hire a Veteran Day by hosting employment events for veterans across several states. This initiative aims to inspire businesses to engage with and hire military veterans, recognizing the unique skill sets that former service members possess.
Empowering Veterans Through Employment Opportunities
The hiring events give veterans a platform to seek positions in various fields at PRIDE Industries, ranging from entry-level roles to supervisory positions. Opportunities available include roles in administration, driving, landscaping, custodial services, job coaching, and supply chain management. PRIDE Industries is on the lookout for talented individuals in cities such as Sacramento, Los Angeles, Fort Bliss, Fort Polk, and Dallas-Fort Worth.
The Value of Military Experience
Tim Young, the Chief Human Resources Officer at PRIDE Industries and a military veteran himself, remarks on the value veterans bring: "Veterans exhibit a mission-driven mindset, extensive leadership skills, and an unwavering commitment to service, which are attributes that resonate with our core values at PRIDE Industries." He emphasized that National Hire a Veteran Day is an occasion to honor veterans for their significant contributions and recognize their exceptional abilities.
Connecting Veterans with Civilian Careers
According to the Department of Labor, around 200,000 military personnel transition into civilian life every year. These veterans present a rich repository of skills and core values—including dedication and teamwork—that are advantageous for civilian employers. Nonetheless, securing employment can often be a hurdle for veterans transitioning to the civilian workforce. National Hire a Veteran Day serves as a crucial bridge connecting these qualified job seekers with organizations that can benefit from their expertise.

Pride Industries actively prioritizes military recruitment and counts numerous veterans from various branches of the military within its workforce, leadership, and Board of Directors. "Employing veterans is not only a moral imperative but also a strategic business choice," explains Young.

At PRIDE Industries, the commitment to aiding veterans during their transition to civilian jobs remains steadfast, allowing them to continue to contribute meaningfully.
