Genie, in conjunction with the Association for Manufacturing Excellence (AME), will host a one-day program on June 17 highlighting industry best practices and state-of-the-art theory to meet current and future hiring of Veterans.
“The goal of this symposium is to assist employers of all sizes to navigate and leverage the systems available so they can access these proven Americans and meet their organization’s hiring and retention needs,” said Joe Barto, Founder and President of TMG, Inc. “The AME Values Veterans Program is not focused on hiring Veterans because it is our patriotic duty but to teach employers to hire veterans because it is a better business decision that will result in increased workforce productivity.”
