Volt Information Sciences, Inc., through its staffing business
unit Volt Workforce Solutions, announced its corporate sponsorship
of the Hire America's Heroes' 2011 Annual Symposium to be held on
May 18, 2011 on Joint Base Lewis-McChord. Hire America’s Heroes is
a non-profit organization that seeks to connect America’s major
corporations with the rich skills and abilities of military service
members and their families for the purpose of employment in the
corporate workforce.
Volt will join Hire America’s Heroes and U.S. Military leaders
at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in welcoming more than 200 corporate
representatives to the base. This year’s symposium event, “Inside
the Gated Community,” offers a behind-the-scenes look at the
tactics, technology, and tools used by America’s service men and
women, along with the business advantages of hiring America’s
veterans. Flight simulations, vehicle digital technology and
demonstrations of the technical skills of U.S. military medical
professionals will be on display.
“One of the biggest challenges that our U.S. service men and
women face when transitioning to the civilian workforce is
translating the valuable technical skills, training and security
clearances they’ve gained while in the military to match those
attributes that are most in-demand among American corporations,”
said Marjorie James, President of Hire America’s Heroes and Program
Manager of Volt Military Programs. “Through this high-visibility
event, we have a unique opportunity to showcase the strengths and
skills, leadership and managerial traits of service members that
could assist Human Resource leaders in their decision to hire
military veterans.”
“With more than 200,000 military veterans exiting each year, our
veterans represent a precious and diverse pool of talent that is
readily available. During their military service, veterans have
risked their lives in war to protect our country and I believe it
is the duty of corporate America to help prepare these brave men
and women for civilian careers,” said Jerome Shaw, Executive Vice
President and Co-founder of Volt Information Sciences, Inc. “If the
tone at the top in terms of veteran hiring is set correctly within
corporate America, we’ll be able to increase the participation of
veterans within our workforce.”
Shaw further commented, “As a corporate leader, Volt pledges to
collaborate closely with clients to elevate their hiring practices
to honor and respect each veteran’s service and sacrifice for our
country. The beneficiaries are not only veterans but corporations
who support these heroes and welcome them as part of their
workforce.”
