Hire Heroes USA (HHUSA) visited Fort Gordon in Augusta, Georgia this weekend. The base is home to the largest Warrior Transition Battalion in the Army. HHUSA was at the base to complete their very first Transition Assistance Workshops.  During the weekend workshops, the HHUSA team was able to present 19 Army soldiers with necessary tips such as, writing a resume, mock interviews, and set up plans for career goals. The event was so successful that representatives from HHUSA and Fort Gordon, are hoping the program will be held on a monthly basis in the near future.

Each veteran, or soon to be veteran, that attends HHUSA’s workshops are put into a data base and assigned a staff member who will continue to mentor them throughout their job search. Brian Stann of HHUSA said that being able to help service members before they leave the military more than doubles their success rate of helping new veterans find meaningful employment.

CODE would like to celebrate the tremendous success made by Brian Stann and the HHUSA team. Their next stop is Marine Base Kaneohe in sunny Hawaii next month. The Maine Corps has already asked HHUSA to visit each of their Wounded Warrior Barracks across the nation bi-annually.  Keep up all the great work for our veterans!
