Hero To Hire
Employment For Every Veteran
Over 2 million American men and women have served our country in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, with over 150,000 currently stationed in Afghanistan. Thousands of those heroes return home needing the support to quickly secure employment and return to civilian life.
What is a Veteran?
America is free because of the brave!
"Veterans sacrifice their personal goals, dreams and family to preserve the American way of life. Veterans travel to foreign soils and sometimes into hostile territories sacrificing little things we take for granted; celebrating a birthday with the family, or simply relaxing on the porch during a holiday. When they return, it is our duty to ensure their transition to the civilian way of life is seamless." Watch Movie
What is Project From Hero To Hire?
Why is this project important?
Employment does far more than just provide some basic life requirements for the employed. Employment supplies the means to meet our basic needs, promote self-esteem, and provide an avenue for achievement and self-realization.
Affects of unemployment for our Veterans can lead to social and economic consequences. NEC has developed a trademarked system that ensures employment is realized by our Veterans within about 16 weeks. Read More
Empower a Veteran
A Veteran sacrifices his or her goals, dreams and sets aside personal ambitions to preserve our security and the American way of life. When they return, although most acquire important skills while in active duty, being in the Military for an extended period, some lose the edge to compete for civilians jobs. Project Hero to Hire was developed to ensure every Veteran is afforded professional career coaching that leads to employment within about 16 weeks. Read below for steps that lead to employment for our Veterans. Read More
The Challenge for a veteran
The challenge of unemployment today is not one of lacking jobs, but one of finding and communicating to the right job. Applicants today are puzzled by the new job market and feel challenged getting noticed using the same resume they had no difficulty drawing attention to previously. This is especially true for our Veterans. Communicating transferable skills acquired while in the military is a challenge for some service personnel.
Today, although the average employer is eager to fill their open positions, some Veterans remain unemployed for more than 42 weeks. For most, this is because they find it challenging to communicate years of experience and consequently express their years of experience inadequately. We help Veterans communicate their skills so clearly that employers looking for those skills can quickly find them. We accomplish this through the Hidden Step® series and a personal career coach for every applicant.
With over 150,000 Veterans looking actively for employment, the success of this mission is important to every military family.
Veterans make great employees. While in the military, they develop important "soft skills" such as team work, punctuality, leadership, and a wide range of other qualities important to today's employers.
