RTD offers Army veterans guaranteed opportunities
Written by jrood
The U.S. Army and the Regional Transportation District in Denver, Colo., are looking toward the future, offering Army veterans a foot in the door with guaranteed interview opportunities with the Partnership for Youth Success Program. The PaYs program is a partnership between a cross section of corporations, companies and public sector agencies, which provides America's youth with an opportunity to serve their country while they prepare for their future. It allows soldiers to reconnect with America and have employment with leading employers using skills learned in the Army. Currently there are 300-plus corporations who participate in the PaYs program. "Army veterans are trained and dedicated with skills in not only a specific job, but leadership skills as well. These skills are an asset to many companies once they finish their commitment to the Army," said Lt. Col. Dionne Wilson, Denver Army recruiting battalion commander. "These soldiers have committed themselves to the Army, and have done service here and abroad and can adjust to many jobs, environments and situations."
