The following is an adapted press release from the city of Palm Coast:
It’s not enough to simply say we support our local hometown heroes. It’s time to do something to show our support and mean it.
Palm Coast/Flagler County is coming together to offer job transition, search and placement assistance for our local military heroes. The Palm Coast Business Assistance Center and the Flagler County Chamber of Commerce & Affiliates are partnering to implement a new “Hire a Hero” program to encourage local businesses to employ local veterans and to guide new applicants through the intricate hiring process.
“With the unemployment rate for young veterans being a staggering 20%, our own government leaders and local business organizations want to take action and make a difference in the lives of our local hometown heroes,” said Joe Roy, area Manager for the Palm Coast Business Assistance Center. “The Center for Business Excellence, SCORE and officials from Flagler County, Flagler Beach and Bunnell are pulling together all of their resources to commit to this essential new initiative.”
If you are a local veteran who has been honorably discharged, reside in Flagler County and are eligible to go to work, contact the One Stop Employment Center at 323-7011 or the Flagler County Chamber of Commerce & Affiliates at 437-0106.
Once you are registered, SCORE and the Palm Coast Business Assistance Center will assist you with creating resumes and practicing interviewing skills. Preference will be given to unemployed veterans, although all veterans are eligible for this program.
