"Creating a Successful Hiring and Retention Program for Veterans"
ABOUT THE EVENT: This month we welcome Tyler Emley, the North East Ohio Regional Workforce Consultant for the Ohio Department of Veterans Services. Tyler will walk us through how a company can create a successful hiring and retention program focused on veterans. We will talk about military culture and how this may differ from your work culture, debunk sterotypes and myths and supporting growth and development in your organization.
