Last week, U.S. Acting Secretary of Labor Julie. A. Su recognized North Wind Resource Consulting as one of the 839 recipients of the 2024 HIRE Vets Medallion Award during a virtual award ceremony presented by the U.S. Department of Labor. NWRC earned the gold award after applying this year. The Honoring Investments in Recruiting and Employing American Military Veterans Act (HIRE Vets Act) Medallion Program is the only federal award program that recognizes employers who successfully recruit, hire, and retain veterans.
“We are always pleased to be able to hire veterans as employees because they are team focused, mission oriented, and have a can-do attitude. The benefits to us cannot be understated as they help us to safely accomplish our work and successfully deliver quality products to our clients,” said Jace Fahnestock, President of North Wind Resource Consulting.
North Wind Resource Consulting joins 838 other companies from 49 states, plus the District of Columbia, who have shown a commitment to hiring veterans, but also ensuring that they have a long-term career and growth plan that uses the diverse skills they acquired through their military service.
Recipients of the 2024 HIRE Vets Medallion Award meet rigorous employment and veteran integration assistance criteria, including veteran hiring and retention percentages; availability of veteran-specific resources; leadership programming for veterans; dedicated human resource efforts; pay compensation and tuition assistance programs for veterans. More than 1,600 employers have earned a HIRE Vets Medallion Award since 2019.
