New PenFed Foundation Partnership Brings Job Opportunities to Veterans and Military Families

New Partnership to Foster Career Opportunities for Veterans

In an exciting new initiative, the PenFed Foundation for Military Heroes has partnered with Provalus to expand career options for veterans and military families. This collaboration aims to address the employment needs in underserved rural communities, ensuring that those who have served our nation have access to thriving, stable careers.

Andrea McCarren, President of the PenFed Foundation, expressed her enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "Through our partnership with Provalus, veterans will be empowered to build stable futures while strengthening the communities they call home." This initiative reflects a commitment to connect veterans transitioning to civilian roles with meaningful employment opportunities and resources essential for their success.

The program will focus on training and facilitating job placements in technology and service sectors, which are pivotal for economic growth. "This partnership is a reaffirmation of Provalus' commitment to the veteran and military community," said Mike Keogh, President of Provalus. Veterans, with their unique skills and perseverance, are seen as key assets in organizations, and this partnership will help them leverage their experiences in the job market.

Provalus takes pride in being a 100% U.S.-based outsourcing organization that creates opportunities in technology for communities that traditionally lack such options. By building capacities in rural areas predominately occupied by veterans, Provalus aims to cultivate a skilled workforce equipped to meet the growing demands of the industry. This innovative approach not only provides jobs but also enhances the technological landscape of rural America, thereby supporting its economic infrastructure.

The collaboration is designed to bridge the gap between military service and sustainable civilian employment. Additionally, it fosters community rebuilding by investing in the local workforce, ultimately benefiting the economies of the regions involved.

This endeavor is particularly timely, as many veterans face challenges when reintegrating into civilian life. Statistics indicate that limited job opportunities in rural areas can hinder veterans' successful transitions, leading to economic instability. The PenFed Foundation's investment in partnership with Provalus seeks to not only provide immediate job placements but also to offer ongoing support for professional growth and development.

Both organizations are eager to enhance awareness about this initiative and encourage participation from veterans and military families. Interested individuals can visit Provalus' Hiring Heroes page for more information on how to get involved or benefit from these new opportunities.

Founded in 2001, the PenFed Foundation is a national nonprofit organization affiliated with the PenFed Credit Union, dedicated to supporting veterans in their transitions to successful civilian lives. Having provided over $55 million in financial support to veterans and military families, the foundation ensures that they receive the resources necessary to thrive. Funded entirely by PenFed Credit Union, the foundation maximizes community impact through its programs.

Provalus, established in 2017, is dedicated to creating technology opportunities in areas where they are scarce, leveraging a unique approach that highlights talent development in rural, veteran-heavy communities across the United States. By focusing on fostering local talent, Provalus aims to deliver valuable services to its clients while simultaneously empowering veterans.

Ultimately, the partnership between the PenFed Foundation and Provalus not only highlights the importance of supporting veteran communities but also sets a leading example for integrating military experience into the civilian workforce. As this initiative progresses, stakeholders are hopeful for a significant, positive impact on employment within these communities.
