Your employees are a key ingredient in maximizing the potential of your company so finding the right employee is critical. As employees, veterans bring with them a strong work ethic, dedication to the mission, exceptional training, and proven leadership skills. They are team players who understand the importance of teamwork in accomplishing the task at hand. These qualities manifest themselves in an individual who is often more productive and disciplined in their jobs.
There may be financial benefits to hiring veterans as well. One such program is the Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Service which can reimburse Employers for up to 50% of the Veteran’s salary for up to six months. Another is the federal tax incentive offered under the Work Opportunity Tax Credit which can contribute up to $2,400 per Veteran hired by companies.
In addition, Veterans have valuable background and security clearances that are required by many employer especially government contractors. More than 90% of military personnel have had background checks for various levels of security clearances.
Green Collar Vets work with educational institutions to equip Veterans with the tools necessary to obtain the training necessary to obtain a career in the green industry. We ask that Employers work with us to provide job opportunities for those who have served our country honorably.
Green Collar Vets will be implementing a job board as soon as we are financially able to fund the development. Until then, we ask that you Contact Us with your needs and we will search our database of qualified Veterans for the right match.
