Military service often requires an exceptional amount of responsibility. More than occasionally the decisions that these men and women make while serving are matters of life and death. Beyond that, those who serve in the military are imbued with specific sets of skills – skills that can sometimes be difficult to translate to civilian employers when they come home.
That’s where Helmets To Hard Hats comes in.
“Veterans have the added stress of trying to translate the skills they learned in the military into language that civilian employers can understand. The process can feel overwhelming, especially if it seems like meaningful help is unavailable,” according to their website. That’s why Helmets To Hard Hats provides that help by creating a community where veterans can connect directly with employers, and where employers can connect directly to a highly skilled, highly trainable workforce of over 100,000 members.
“Employers who qualify for the Helmets To Hard Hats program gain access to a pool of construction industry career seekers who are hardworking, drug-free, safety-conscious and highly dependable,” according to https://helmetstohardhats.org/ . “H2H candidates possess specialized training, hands-on experience and professional discipline that you simply cannot find in the regular workforce.”
If you’re an employer in the construction industry who wants to participate in the Helmets To Hard Hats program, you will need to register on their website (https://helmetstohardhats.org/jobs/login). After you register your account you can post career opportunities or search through a database of member resumes to find a veteran who’s the right fit for your company.
