Nov. 11, 2005: ABC Launches Web Site To Help Veterans Find Jobs
WASHINGTON - Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) and Orion International, a leading military placement agency, have launched VeteransBuildAmerica.org, an interactive Web site designed to link U.S. veterans making the transition from the military to civilian life with construction contractors seeking employees.
"At this time of year, we honor the selfless men and women who put their lives on the line to protect our nation," said Kirk Pickerel, ABC's president and CEO. "This Veterans Day, ABC is proud to launch VeteransBuildAmerica.org. We realize that the transition from military life to civilian life can sometimes be difficult. It is our hope that VeteransBuildAmerica.org will help ease this transition by providing opportunities for veterans to begin a career in the U.S. construction industry."
