"I did not want night to turn into morning before sending a quick note of thanks and acknowledgement for an outstanding hiring and networking event. The Hiring event from start to finish was stellar. The commemoration of 9/11 was powerfully profound. And the reception was a wonderful way to end the evening. Today I met employers, job seekers and staff members that are like family. Thank you for providing the space for employees to meet employers with the focus on veteran talent acquisition.
Please, if there is any way I can be of assistance, let me know. While I'm in between job opportunities, I'd love to volunteer, keep me in mind.
Best regards,"

Patriots Path's 5-Part program provides career transition strategies for military Veterans (and spouses) as well as active duty Guard and Reserve members. This course was developed and is taught by Career Coaches and Executive Recruiters. Each of our five in-classroom, interactive workshops are held in corporate boardrooms or training facilities offering students added connectivity to employers who are committed to supporting them.
In addition to the five group classes, students also participate in breakout sessions one-on-one with assigned mentors and coaches to cover more personalized resume writing, mock-interviews and job shadowing.
The course is free! A Registration fee of $25 covers the entire program including assessments.
Lash Group started more than 20 years ago around a kitchen table with a unique idea and a passion for patients. Their pioneering vision to connect patients more quickly and efficiently to better care has transformed an industry, and they remain dedicated to helping people access, afford, and remain on the treatments they need.
They have recently partnered with Veterans Bridge Home to Recruit, Hire, Train and Retain veterans. They have hired several in the last 6 months and are still looking for Operations Managers to outfit their new building space.
When I first attended one of their Veteran Resource Group Lunches, I was impressed with their culture and how it emulated to the military culture. A Veteran-Friendly Employer that continues to set the bar for others to follow.
