North Carolina for Military Employment
~~“Between 2015 and 2018, 78,000 service members will transition out of the military through NC’s DoD installations, adding strength to the 778,000 veterans already living in North Carolina. North Carolina’s businesses strive to support these veterans and service members by leveraging their skills to fill critical talent requirements, but often lack the resources needed to identify and hire qualified military candidates.
Solution: North Carolina for Military Employment (NC4ME) is a comprehensive public-private partnership designed to make NC the number one state for military employment. Established by the Governor in 2015, NC4ME leverages existing workforce development resources and technology to implement an employer-centric strategy that:
• Educates NC’s business leaders on the value of hiring a military workforce,
• Shows small businesses and human resource professionals how to hire military personnel, and
• Connects military talent to open jobs, education, and training opportunities in North Carolina.”
