Workforce Leadership Series

From the Front Lines to the Front Office: Leveraging Your Veteran Hire to Grow Your Business

Veterans have unique skill-sets that can be translated to successful job placement in your business. A clear understanding of the veteran culture and how to integrate service men and women into your company is essential as many veterans make their way from the front lines to the front office. This workshop will address critical information for businesses in the Memphis area on attracting and hiring veteran candidates and their immediate impact on leadership, accountability and revenue in your organization.  Work Opportunity Tax Credits and incentives for hiring veterans will also be addressed as part of this seminar.
