NEW YORK, Nov. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Workforce Opportunity Services (WOS) —the leading non-profit organization connecting individuals from underserved populations with transformative career opportunities— was awarded the 2019 Platinum HIRE Vets Medallion Award.
This award is the only federal-level veterans' employment accolade that recognizes an organization's commitment to veteran hiring, retention, and professional development. Applicants are evaluated based on a specific range of criteria, including veteran hiring and retention rates, and the availability of veteran-specific resources, leadership programs, dedicated human resources, and compensation and tuition assistance programs.
"With their proven leadership, determination, and dedication, America's veterans strengthen our nation's workforce," said U.S. Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta. "The HIRE Vets Medallion Program recognizes job creators who understand the value a veteran brings to any job or organization, and demonstrate a true commitment to veteran hiring and professional development."
