XPO Logistics Supports Veterans With Hiring our Heroes Partnership
September 01 2021 - 7:00AM
XPO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE: XPO), a leading global provider of
freight transportation services, today announced a partnership with
the Hiring our Heroes Corporate Fellowship. The program places
highly skilled veterans and military spouses with military-friendly
civilian companies.
Hiring our Heroes, a US Chamber of Commerce Foundation program,
helps bridge the civilian-military divide within the business
community.
XPO’s inaugural fellowship class recently completed a 12-week
training program. Three veteran graduates of the program started
full-time roles with XPO: Earnest McGowen (US Army), Will Dodson
(US Marines Corps) and Ahmad Garland (US Marines Corps).
Josephine Berisha, chief human resources officer for XPO
Logistics, said, “We’re committed to diversity through our veteran
recruitment, professional development and inclusive workplace
policies. It’s a privilege to have these veterans join our team.
They will add significant value to our culture with their varied
experiences.”
XPO, which received a bronze designation on the Viqtory 2021
Military Friendly Employers list, has a sizable community of
self-identified veterans. Job opportunities can be found online at
the XPO careers site. Veterans can use the Military Skills
Translator to match their military experience to civilian jobs.
