ST. PAUL, Minn.— On Veterans Day, Nov. 11, 2014, Troops to Trades (www.troopstotrades.org), a nonprofit scholarship and career assistance program, will be launching an enhanced web tool designed to help contractors recruit veterans.
“Veterans have the skills and training required by contractors in the residential plumbing, heating, cooling, and electrical (PHCE) service industries. Military trained workers are highly accountable and respect rules and procedures. Furthermore, they are sincere and trustworthy, qualities that are of immense value in our industries,” said Renée Cardarelle, executive director of Troops to Trades.
