DALLAS, Nov. 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- This Veterans Day,  Associa, the community management industry’s largest company, is proud to announce its partnership with Hiring Our Heroes (HOH), a non-profit organization that works to create meaningful career opportunities for transitioning service members, veterans, and military spouses. The company’s Client Shared Services Center (CSSC) will have the opportunity to host 12-week Corporate Fellowship Programs for military personnel in their final 180 days of service. Selected Service Member Fellows will be assigned a mentor who will provide the guidance, support, training, and supervision they need to succeed in today’s civilian workforce. Upon successful completion of their Fellowship, each individual will be considered by their supervisor for full-time employment with Associa.

Since its formation in 2015, HOH has placed more than 8,000 active-duty service members into the Corporate Fellowship Program. The program placed 2,035 Fellows In 2022, 41% of whom were newly separated personnel and 59% who were veterans. The program saw a 98.6% completion rate with 87% of its Service Member Fellows receiving an offer for full-time employment, with an average salary of $108,000. Skillsets of those individuals placed include project management, human resources, IT / cyber security, operations, logistics, data analysis, and business development.

Founded in 2011, Hiring Our Heroes is a nationwide initiative of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation dedicated to helping veterans, transitioning service members, military spouses, and caregivers find meaningful employment. HOH statistics show that 64% of military veterans experience difficulty transitioning into the civilian workforce.
