HirePatriots and its Veterans Green Projects is committed to creating jobs for US veterans in the renewable energy sector, including e-waste and energy saving. We are creating major sales opportunities and business opportunities. Contact our Veterans Green Projects director Mike Malott: mike@veteransgreenprojects.org.

VETERAN WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
NITE is dedicated to working with employers to find jobs for our military veterans. Imagine that you have the ability to work one-on-one with a staffing agency, but don’t have to pay any fees. Our proactive veterans are ready to take the first step and invest in themselves.
