The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has announced the recipients of its 2021 “HIRE Vets Medallion Award,” a voluntary program under which small, medium, and large employers can seek recognition for exemplary efforts in recruiting, employing, and retaining veterans.
The HIRE Vets Medallion Award is the only one of its kind given out by the federal government. The voluntary program is open to all employers, and is administered by DOL’s Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (DOL-VETS). The program was created by the Honoring Investments in Recruiting and Employing American Military Veterans Act of 2017, or “HIRE Vets Act.”
