“This program provides an opportunity for employers to be honored for going the extra mile in hiring and retaining veterans,” said Fitzgerald Washington, Secretary of the Alabama Department of Labor.  “The criteria for winning these awards is stringent, and requires a great level of dedication.  I’m so proud that Alabama had multiple recipients of this award.”

Nationally, 674 companies were recognized for the commitment to hiring veterans. The companies awarded are also praised for ensuring that they have a long-term career and growth plan that uses the diverse skills they acquired through their military service.
