In recognition of Veteran’s Day and National Veterans Small Business Week (October 31-November 4, 2016), Apollo Safety, Inc., a veteran-owned company providing gas detection products and services to organizations throughout New England, is encouraging other businesses to join them in their “Commitment to Valor – Jobs for Heroes” movement.
Essentially, “Commitment to Valor – Jobs for Heroes” is an initiative that Apollo Safety launched in collaboration with the Fall River Chamber of Commerce in 2014, with the honorable goal of enlisting companies to provide more opportunities for veterans.
Apollo Safety is renewing its pledge to provide more opportunities for veterans by interviewing and/or hiring at least two U.S. military veterans by the end of 2016 – and they are encouraging other businesses to do the same. To date, Apollo Safety has made a concerted effort to interview and hire veterans.
“I believe we have a civic responsibility to help these heroes by providing job opportunities upon their return from honorable service,” said John V. Carvalho III, president of Apollo Safety, Inc. and a U.S. Army veteran who understands the struggles of returning veterans and their families.
He continued, “Many of these veterans have received years of training during their service, which makes them ideal candidates in nearly all fields of business. Not only is it our duty to provide re-entry opportunities for these brave men and women who fought for our freedom and liberty, but to provide them guidance and candid feedback along the way.”
Apollo Safety encourages businesses, locally and nationally, to join them in this movement to get veterans back to work by pledging to interview and/or hire two veterans for positions open within their company. Businesses may pledge via email to john@apollosafety.com.
Apollo Safety is now hiring Service Technicians and Sales Representatives for the Boston, and Providence, Rhode Island areas and military veterans are encouraged to apply. To apply for a position, interested parties should send a resume and cover letter to John V. Carvalho III, Apollo Safety, Inc., 57 Walnut Street, Fall River, MA 02780 or by email, john@apollosafety.com.
