The U.S. Department of Labor’s Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (DOL-VETS) announced recently that interested employers can now submit online applications to be considered for the 2022 “HIRE Vets Medallion Award,” which is given annually to employers that have demonstrated their commitment to hire and retain veterans. The HIRE Vets Medallion Award gives public recognition to a company for its efforts to recruit and employ veterans in meaningful careers.
The annual HIRE Vets Medallion Award is the only one of its kind given out by the federal government, and is open to all employers. The program is administered by DOL-VETS, which started accepting applications for the 2022 awards on January 31, 2022. Participation in the program is voluntary, and employers hoping to be recognized during this year’s award cycle have until April 30, 2022, to submit their online applications to DOL-VETS.
