Government Tactical Solutions (GovTact), a national security firm, has received the Honoring Investments in Recruiting and Employing American Military Veterans (HIRE Vets) Program Platinum Medallion Award from the Department of Labor (DOL) for the second year in a row.
HIRE Vets Medallion Award recipients meet rigorous employment and veteran integration assistance criteria, including veteran hiring and retention percentages; availability of veteran-specific resources; leadership programming for veterans; dedicated human resource efforts; pay compensation and tuition assistance programs for veterans.
“We are humbled to receive this important award for the second year,” said Paul Sanchez, GovTact CEO. “As a veteran, growing our veteran workforce is a top priority and it is critical that we continue to offer them a supportive and welcoming workplace as well as help them meet their career goals. GovTact has implemented multiple initiatives to ensure we are doing everything we can to support veterans on our team and in our communities.”
GovTact joins 834 other companies from 49 states, plus the District of Columbia, who have shown a commitment to hiring veterans, but also ensuring that they have a long-term career and growth plan that uses the diverse skills they acquired through their military service.
