October 31, 2024 — U.S. Acting Secretary of Labor Julie A. Su recognized RedSky as one of the 839 recipients of the 2024 HIRE Vets Medallion Award during a virtual award ceremony presented by U.S. Department of Labor. RedSky earned the platinum award after applying earlier this year. The Honoring Investments in Recruiting and Employing American Military Veterans Act (HIRE Vets Act) Medallion Program is the only federal award program that recognizes employers who successfully recruit, hire, and retain veterans.
“We are honored to be a six-time recipient of the HIRE Vets Medallion Award. We recognize the immense value that veterans bring to our team. Their skills, resilience, and leadership align perfectly with our mission, and we are committed to ensuring they have meaningful career paths and growth opportunities within our organization,” said Carol Monroe, CEO of RedSky. “This award reaffirms our ongoing effort to support and empower veterans as they transition into civilian careers.”
RedSky joins 838 other companies from 49 states, plus the District of Columbia, who have shown a commitment to hiring veterans, but also ensuring that they have a long-term career and growth plan that uses the diverse skills they acquired through their military service.
Recipients of the 2024 HIRE Vets Medallion Award meet rigorous employment and veteran integration assistance criteria, including veteran hiring and retention percentages; availability of veteran-specific resources; leadership programming for veterans; dedicated human resource efforts; pay compensation and tuition assistance programs for veterans. More than 1,600 employers have earned a HIRE Vets Medallion Award since 2019.
