TSSI RECRUIT'S HEROES TO HIRE PROGRAMME
The Heroes to Hire programme is designed to support military service members transitioning from military to civilian life by providing them with career opportunities in various fields. Here are some key points about the programme:
Transition Support: The programme helps service members transition out of the military and into civilian careers. For example, Gabriel Gutierrez transitioned out of the United States Marine Corps and embarked on a career in recruitment through this programme.
Internships: Interns receive 100% of their normal military pay and benefits during their internships. They remain on active duty throughout the internship period, and the programme ensures that they are not compensated by the host company, which would violate Department of Defense (DoD) rules.
Recruitment and Training: The programme involves recruiting service members globally and certifying internships with the DoD. It includes sourcing costs, commissions for the team, and consulting with both the intern and the host company during the internship.
Employer Engagement: The programme has been well-received by clients, who appreciate the opportunity to support their troops while benefiting from the skills and experience of military personnel.
Key Participants: The programme includes various roles such as recruiters, credit controllers, and marketing assistants. For instance, Susan Shih is a Senior Credit Controller actively involved in financial tasks, and Abigail Payupay is an Executive Marketing Assistant leading TSSI's global marketing strategy.
