Military service members, veterans and military spouses have exceptional, transferable skills, training and talent that can be a huge benefit for Michigan employers.
Veterans Day and Veterans and Military Families Month is a perfect time to learn more and check out the resources and programs available for hiring veterans.
“Our state’s military community – service members, spouses and veterans – have done and sacrificed so much to protect our freedoms, peace and prosperity,” said Jim Holcomb, president & CEO. “Helping connect these Michiganders to meaningful employment opportunities is the right thing do. It also provides a strong, diverse talent pool for Michigan businesses.” ”
Holcomb also saluted the numerous MI Chamber veteran-owned business members for their entrepreneurship and commitment to community.
