Shannon Scott, OnCentive’s CEO, explained why this event matters:
“As a son and grandson of veterans who both fought in active wars, I am so proud to be a part of this event. My simple ask is to join us in honoring the brave men and women who have selflessly served our nation. Together, let us create an unforgettable evening of gratitude at our Salutre to Our Heroes event on June 22. Every step we take, every dollar we raise, brings us closer to making a profound difference in the lives of those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom.”
A word about Hire Heroes USA
Hire Heroes USA empowers US military members, veterans and spouses to succeed in the civilian workforce. They prioritize transparency, and have earned a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator and the Guide Star Platinum Seal. Funded primarily through public donations and private grants, Hire Heroes USA provides its services at no cost to its clients.
They help veterans in multiple ways, far beyond what a recruiting firm might do:
- Educating business owners on the advantage of hiring veterans or their spouses.
- Providing career coaching, including:
- Digging deep into veterans’ experience to help discover jobs they would do well.
- Helping veterans + their spouses build resumes that are easy for a civilian employer to understand.
- Teaching interview skills.
- Providing networking opportunities.
- Positioning veterans with companies that are looking for the skills they have.
In addition to buying a ticket, here are three other ways you can support this event, which last year raised $100K for Hire Heroes USA:
What is OnCentive?
OnCentive consults with some of the largest companies in the United States to help them save money. This includes incentives to hire veterans, such as the Work Opportunity Tax Credit. This program aids our heroes in finding gainful employment and provides employers with a substantial tax credit—up to $9,600 per new hire.
