Paradies has become a co-title sponsor of the 2015 Leave No Veteran Behind Opportunity Fair.
The series of events takes place across the country to create business and employment opportunities specifically for military veterans.
“The Leave No Veteran Behind Opportunity Fair is a tremendous program and we are proud to be a lead sponsor in the ongoing effort to employ our nation’s veterans,” says Gregg Paradies, president and CEO of Paradies. “We have enjoyed a long-standing history of employing people of great talent and through this program, we feel confident that our base of exceptionally skilled and customer-minded associates will reach new heights.”
The endeavor is produced by The Veterans Enterprise Training and Services Group, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in Washington, D.C. The program’s main goals include:
• Creating business and employment opportunities directly related to the airport industry for all veterans
• Creating airport industry awareness of the benefits of hiring veterans and engaging veterans in this airport businesses
• Offering services and networking sessions to veterans and veteran-owned businesses
Paradies’ co-sponsor is Avis Budget Group; the American Association of Airport Executives and Airport Minority Advisory Council are also supporters. More than 30 airports have committed to hosting an expo in 2015.
“We are thrilled to have Paradies and Avis Budget Group as title sponsors of these important opportunities for our nation’s heroes and their families,” says Adrian Guglielmo, founding partner and producer of the Leave No Veteran Behind Opportunity Fair. “With the training and skill development received in the military, no industry in the country can relate to a veteran experience better than airports.”
