Repairer Driven News: A Pipeline Of Talent Camouflaged In Our Military Veterans

Repairer Driven News (RDN) has released two articles highlighting an underutilized resource. That resource could be a pipeline for an industry that is struggling to acquire and retain talent.

Often overlooked and abundant talent resources are our military veterans. About 200,000 troops transition out of the military every year, and there are about 325,000 unemployed veterans. There are plenty of opportunities to find good talent, ready and willing to be part of a new team.

With resources to connect employers and veterans, such as the State Workforce system and the Registered Apprenticeship Program, the task of finding veterans just got easier. So, in this climate of talent shortage, veterans may just be the answer.
