Clarios Achieves 2025 Vet's Ready Status for Extraordinary Support of Veterans
Clarios Honored as Vets Ready Employer for 2025
In an impressive recognition of its commitment to supporting veterans, Clarios has been awarded the title of Vets Ready Employer for 2025 by the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development. This accolade places Clarios among only 25 employers in Wisconsin acknowledged for their dedication to hiring and retaining veterans, showcasing the company's initiatives that empower military personnel to transition into civilian roles successfully.
Acknowledging Veteran Contributions
Clarios received a prestigious gold certification in the large business category, highlighting its exceptional practices in hiring veterans. The program assesses applicants based on several criteria including the availability of resources, training, work environments tailored for veterans, and community engagement efforts. “The unique experience and expertise that veterans bring to our organization is incredibly valuable,” expressed Beth Powers, Chief Human Resource Officer at Clarios. “I am proud to know that our commitment to supporting veterans in building meaningful careers, where their military skills are recognized, nurtured, and celebrated, has earned this recognition.”
The initiative recognizes the barriers veterans face when re-entering the workforce, primarily underemployment, which remains a critical issue across the nation. Established in 2020, the Vet's Ready program aims to highlight employers who exceed standard practices in supporting veterans, ensuring they have the opportunity to thrive in a civilian setting.
Building Meaningful Connections
Earlier this year, Clarios further reinforced its dedication to military families by joining the U.S. Department of Defense's Military Spouse Employment Partnership (MSEP). This partnership demonstrates Clarios’ ongoing efforts to foster significant career opportunities not just for veterans but also their families, illustrating a holistic approach to employment.
The Vets Ready Employer Initiative encourages workplaces to establish supportive environments, recruit and retain more veterans, and actively engage with veterans and their families in the community. Additional information regarding this initiative and how other employers can apply is available online, underlining Clarios' role as a model employer in the sector.
