U.S. Acting Secretary of Labor Julie A. Su recognized Assured Information Security (AIS) 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.
AIS 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 this award for the fourth consecutive year reaffirms our steadfast commitment to our nation’s veterans,” said Elizabeth Bowers, Chief Human Resources Officer and Senior Vice President at AIS. “As a company built on a foundation of service, we’re dedicated to fostering an environment where veteran employees can harness their unique skills. We continually strive to provide the resources, training and support they need, while offering them a fulfilling career path.”
AIS 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.
Thank you to our veterans at AIS, two of which are pictured above!
