U.S. Acting Secretary of Labor Julie A. Su recognized Itero Group as one of the 839 recipients of the 2024 HIRE Vets Medallion Award during a virtual award ceremony presented by U.S. Department of Labor.
Itero Group earned the gold award after applying earlier this year. The Honoring Investments in Recruiting and Employing American Military Veterans Act (HIRE Vets Act) Medallion Program is the only federal award program that recognizes employers who successfully recruit, hire, and retain veterans.
"Receiving the HIRE Vets Medallion Award is a tremendous honor for Itero Group," said Erin Brahams, CEO of Itero Group. "Our commitment to hiring veterans goes beyond providing job opportunities; we focus on creating a pathway for long-term career growth and development that leverages their unique skill sets acquired through military service. Veterans bring invaluable experience, leadership, and resilience, qualities we prioritize and celebrate at Itero Group."
Itero Group joins 838 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.
Recipients of the 2024 HIRE Vets Medallion Award 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.
More than 1,600 employers have earned a HIRE Vets Medallion Award since 2019.
