The first of its kind in the history of Carefusion, after a thorough vetting process, they welcomed 10 veterans to participate in an 8 week program. Markus Achord, Diversity and Inclusion Manager for Carefusion blazed the trail to make this happen. Patterning it after Qualcomm’s successful program, Carefusion realized a great return on their investment as they extended offers to a few of these veterans, and extended the assignment of others beyond the 8 week program.

Amerit Consulting provided the onboarding and payrolling services to this program as well as extended the Amerit Excellence Award to Richard Gilpin for “The Intern who has displayed leadership and the best understanding of networking and personal branding.” Additionally, he received 100.00 gift cards to restaurants in San Diego. Congratulations Richard and to all at Carefusion who made this internship possible.

Amerit’s Eve Nasby spoke for 10 minutes about the obligation of San Diego companies and the obligation of the veterans who have graduated from the Veteran Internship program at Carefusion to spread the word. There are 28,000 veterans who are released into San Diego every year. We need more companies like Carefusion and Qualcomm and Life Technologies to step up and create an opportunity for veterans to integrate more successfully into the civilian workforce by creating an internship program.

REBOOT has graduated hundreds of transitioning veterans and has now launched their “Ready 4 Hire” initiative. Ready 4 Hire is a bold new concept to “push” veterans ready for hire out to employers.

Each week they will send profiles with their LinkedIn page where you can view their entire portfolio. Join their email list and let’s do our part to get these veterans back to work. Here are the “Ten Top” reasons to hire them.“

Amerit Consulting, and sister companies KelleyAmerit Fleet Services and IC Advisor had the honor of attending the 20^th Annual Keeping the Promise Conference/Expo on May 14 and 15 in Los Angeles.

Inspired by Abraham Lincoln’s promise “that this nation care for those who ‘shall have borne the battle,’” the KTP Conference began in 1994 in an effort to foster and support veteran owned businesses. The KTP Conference provides a valuable networking forum for veteran owned businesses and large corporations who seek supplier diversity, while celebrating and appreciating our country’s armed services men and women. But KTP is not all business.

The evening gala event is always a Hollywood star-studded dinner. This year, giving heartfelt speeches, actors Jon Voight, Louis Gosset, Jr., James McEachin, Dennis Haysbert, and Dodger baseball Hall of Famer Tommy Lasorda, founder of Tommy’s Team, shared their experiences and passion for serving those who have sacrificed so much in service to our country.

However, the true stars of this year’s event were the past, present and future military soldiers, featuring a swearing-in of over 140 new recruits, as well as recognizing and  honoring special veteran groups within the community.  This year the Tuskegee Airmen -who were recently depicted in the Hollywood motion picture Red Tails –  were honored for their service to this great nation. A standing ovation welcomed them and punctuated the sense of gratitude that overflowed the room for their service and courage during World War II.

Honored that evening were, George Mitchell, a Tuskegee Radio Instructor; Claude Rowe, an RCAF pilot and Tuskegee Airmen Pilot, the only documented Tuskegee Airmen to have two sets of wings; and Alfonso Harris, a Tuskegee Airmen Pilot, Flight Officer. Joining them were their wives, family members, and President of their association, Paulette Mello.  The table was filled with genuinely grateful, humbled service men and their families who were truly overwhelmed at the support.

Amerit was proud and honored to have been a part of Keeping the Promise. Fellow sponsors of the event included McKesson, Union Bank, Symantec, AT&T, Hewlett Packard, and the California Department of General Services, among others.

Amerit Celebrates Military Appreciation Month with its “Veterans First” Initiative

WALNUT CREEK, CALIF. – In celebration of Military Appreciation Month, Amerit Consulting, California’s largest Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise, announced today the launch of its new initiative, Veterans First.

Veterans First is Amerit’s promise to continue their search for top tier talent by starting with qualified military veterans from their database to fill open positions.

Amerit is asking companies to join them in helping our country overcome the alarming 29 percent¹ unemployment rate among veterans by hiring them for positions that utilize their strength of leadership, work ethic and technical training that were developed during their time in the military.

“We believe veterans are the best candidate to hire,” said Gary Herbold, founder of Amerit Consulting. “Their world-class technical training and education make them an asset to all companies seeking to strengthen their future. Veterans First is about doing the right thing by placing veterans in careers where their unique skills and character will be valued after serving.”

Companies that hire veterans also benefit by realizing up to $9,600 in tax credits per veteran can be earned during this calendar year. Amerit Consulting’s Veterans First initiative is designed to quickly find the best-qualified, top tier veterans that fit their partners’ needs.

To find out how hiring a veteran would benefit your company, contact Eve Nasby, Vice President of Sales, at enasby@ameritconsulting.com.
