Helmets to Hardhats Message
More Careers in 2008
The Helmets to Hardhats program has experienced many changes in 2007. These changes are helping to take Helmets to Hardhats to the next level of professionalism and customer service. And because of these changes, the men and women of our nation's armed forces, and the companies and organizations who are offering great careers in the construction industry, will reap the benefits for years to come.
We have connected thousands of Americas' service men and women with great careers in the construction industry. These careers allow veterans to live their American dream, and it allows our employers and skilled trade unions to reap the benefits of these outstanding employees and apprentices.
However, this program would never be successful without the dedication and resolve that you demonstrate in service to our military members. By participating in the program, you are sending a powerful message that you, as Employers, Trade Unions, and Joint Apprenticeship Training Councils, are united and committed to helping our Nation's military service members.
And to the men and women who have served our country with great distinction, honor and bravery, we have one message for you: You have served our Country - now let us help you secure your future in the construction industry.
As we witness one year come to an end and the new year begin, I give you all my pledge to continue to make Helmets to Hardhats a program of success, and the standard by which all other veterans employment assistance programs are judged.
Thank you,
