Acting Commerce Secretary Rebecca Blank Announces New Monster.com Collaboration with Joining Forces Initiative

December 12, 2012 - Joining Forces seeks to connect America’s veterans and military spouses with careers that match their skills and experience

Acting Commerce Secretary Rebecca Blank and Capt. Todd Veazie, Executive Director of First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden’s Joining Forces initiative, participated today in the National Veteran Employment Summit hosted by Monster and Military.com. At the event, Acting Secretary Blank announced that Monster.com is collaborating with Joining Forces, which means the company will contribute to the initiative’s goal of hiring or training an additional 250,000 veterans and military spouses by the end of 2014.

During the summit, human resource leaders from the public and private sector engaged with veterans, senior military and government officials, and respected non-profit leaders about the most effective ways to prepare, support, and connect veterans with employers. The event also included networking opportunities.

“All of us at the Commerce Department and throughout the Administration have made hiring veterans a priority,” said Acting Secretary Blank. “Whether it’s by making improvements in how the military transitions service members from the battlefield to the workplace, ensuring the post-9/11 GI Bill stays strong, or through the efforts of the Joining Forces initiative, President Obama and this Administration are taking steps to ensure that veterans can find job opportunities when they return from service. We are proud to support the efforts of the private sector – and companies like Monster and Military.com – in hiring the men and women who have bravely served this nation.” read more>>>
