Employers who have made the decision to include transitioning service members, veterans and wounded warriors in their recruitment and hiring initiatives will have an easier time thanks to a new online toolkit made available by the U.S. Department of Labor. The toolkit was developed to simplify the process and to make resources more readily available to employers who currently have a difficult time navigating veterans hiring information.
A straightforward six-step process was developed for a business to design a veterans hiring initiative. The guide allows users to select from promising practices and other resources that employers are using to successfully welcome talented and skilled veterans into their companies. The toolkit will offer valuable information for employers that are working to create a hiring program for veterans from the ground up or for employers that are looking to revise existing efforts.
