YesVets, a state program that recognizes Washington employers for hiring veterans, has helped hire more than 10,000 veterans in its 10 years, the state Employment Security Department said.
The program started in 2016. Since then, more than 2,650 employers have signed up and hired more than 10,100 veterans, according to ESD’s website. Employers that join receive decals and other materials that let customers know they hire veterans, along with resources for hiring veterans.
ESD, the Washington State Veterans Employee Resource Group and the Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs planned to celebrate the milestone at the state’s annual Veterans Day ceremony Nov. 10 at the Capitol in Olympia. Facilities management company BGIS was to be recognized there as the YesVets spotlighted employer for the 10,000th hire.
Employers can sign up and find hiring resources at esd.wa.gov.
