Combined Insurance Helps Military Veterans Find Jobs at Columbia Career Expo Continues Commitment to Hire Thousands of Vets

Combined
Insurance, a leading provider of individual supplemental accident, disability, health and life insurance products, and an ACE Group
company, continues its commitment to help military veterans find meaningful
employment with its participation in the Non Commissioned Officers
Association (NCOA) career expo
on April 3, 2014,
from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Sheraton Columbia Town Center in Columbia,
MD.



 



Continuing its effort to help reduce the military veteran
unemployment rate, Combined Insurance has committed to hiring 4,000 vets by the
end of 2016. To help reach that goal, the company is further leveraging its
involvement with NCOA, which connects experienced and diverse U.S. military
talent with America's employers, by regularly participating in the
organization’s nationwide career expos that are scheduled this year.

Considered a top employer of military veterans, Combined
Insurance was recently ranked 6 on G.I. Jobs magazine’s 2014 Military Friendly
Employer list. More than 5,000 eligible companies compete each year for a spot
on the list, which is made up of employers with strong military recruitment
programs and meaningful job opportunities for transitioning service members and
spouses seeking civilian employment. This was the company’s third year on the
list and the second consecutive year in the top 10. Over the past three years,
Combined Insurance has hired more than 1,300 military veterans.

“We have found that military veterans can make great
employees – especially for our industry,” said Joseph Pennington, U.S. Navy
retired, and military program director for
Combined Insurance. “They have very desirable traits and skills – they can lead
and be led, they are responsible, disciplined, hard-working, and dedicated to
helping others. We are excited and look forward to meeting with and finding
some excellent candidates at the NCOA career expo in Baltimore.”



 



Combined Insurance also is a member of the 100,000 Jobs Mission,
a coalition of leading U.S. companies whose goal is to hire 100,000
transitioning service members and military vets by 2020, and uses other
military recruiting resources such as TAP and Fleet and Family Support Centers,
the Veterans Administration, state representatives and other local veteran
organizations, as well as, military-specific job sites like vetsuccess.gov.



 



The NCOA is a congressionally chartered military non-profit
501(c)(19) organization that was established in 1960 to enhance and maintain
the quality of life for noncommissioned and petty officers in all branches of
the Armed Forces, National Guard, and Reserves. It is a leader in veteran’s
employment assistance and has a strong voice on Capitol Hill and with the
Veterans Administration.
