FORGING A PATH TO LASTING, SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC GROWTH

This June, building on his global leadership through the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), President Clinton is responding to challenges in the United States by convening business, government, and civic leaders to focus on economic recovery and job growth. With the unemployment rate near 9 percent, there is an urgent need to reenergize the U.S. economy, create jobs, and better equip workers for new opportunities. At CGI America, participants will focus on strengthening American industries, unlocking capital for innovation and entrepreneurship, advancing energy efficiency and smart infrastructure, and training the next generation for the workforce. The goal of the meeting is to generate Commitments to Action – new, specific, and measurable plans to address challenges in the U.S., particularly through job creation and investment.

Hiring Our Heroes - US Chamber of Commerce

Hiring Our Heroes

 

In March 2011, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce launched Hiring Our Heroes, a nationwide effort to help veterans and their spouses find meaningful employment.

The Chamber started the program in partnership with the Department of Labor’s Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (VETS) to improve public-private sector coordination in local communities, where veterans and their families are returning every day. Working with our extensive network of state and local chambers, VETS, the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR), and other strategic partners, the Hiring Our Heroes program matches veteran talent with career opportunities in the private sector.

The Hiring Our Heroes program has four pillars:

(1)100 hiring fairs for veterans and their families in local communities across

the country,

(2) Wounded Warrior Transition Assistance Program,

(3) Student Veterans Internship and Employment Program, and...

(4) Women Veteran and Military Spouse Employment Program.

The U.S. Chamber will host two of our biggest and best hiring fairs over the next two months. On June 23, the Chamber will work with the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce and Veterans on Wall Street to host a hiring fair for 150 employers and 1,500 veterans at the USS Intrepid in New York City. On July 10th the U.S. Chamber will be joined by Their Royal Highnesses Prince William and Catherine, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, at Hiring our Heroes Los Angeles. The Chamber’s largest hiring fair will be held at Sony Pictures Studios in Los Angeles and will connect 1,500 veterans and their spouses with 200 employers from across the state. During the next year we plan to host 125 events in all of our hiring programs.
