Manufacturing to vets: We want you!

The Manufacturing Institute has announced a new alliance with RecruitMilitary LLC to promote the hiring of military veterans by manufacturers in the United States. "We are proud to be able to help the men and women who have served in the U.S. armed forces transition back into private sector jobs,"

said Jerry Jasinowski, president of The Manufacturing Institute, the research and education arm of the National Association of Manufacturers. "Military veterans have the sophisticated technical skills, work ethic, commitment and drive needed in the modern manufacturing workplace. Veterans offer a deep pool of talent that can help manufacturers overcome a serious shortage of skilled workers that threatens America's global manufacturing leadership."

RecruitMilitary LLC provides a database of more than 90,000 job candidates with military backgrounds that NAM members will be able to access. NAM members who participate will be entitled to display a special graphic on all electronic and printed materials identifying themselves as "Veteran-Friendly Employers," and receive a 10% discount.
