Veteran transition success spotlight
"How to Navigate Professional Staffing Agencies"
A year ago a Veteran takes a job thru a temp agency and is employed on an 18-month contract. After the first 90 days, she gets access to ALL the internal positions. She reviews and applies and gets picked up in her sweet spot and is now employed FT. Wonder how professional staffing agencies can help you? Check out the note below on Professional Staffing Agencies.
REMINDER FROM VBH

Veterans Bridge Home Employment Provider Spotlight
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.

Veteran Friendly Employer SPOTLIGHT
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.
THANK YOU AmerisourceBergen.
