HOUSTON, Dec. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- KBR, Inc.
(NYSE: KBR) announced today that its "Camo to KBR: Veterans
Recruitment and Training Program" has received a prestigious
Workforce Development Award from the Construction Users Roundtable
(CURT), a national organization comprised of leaders in the
construction industry.
According to CURT, the award recognizes companies for
"extraordinary, exemplary and innovative recruitment, training and
education programs, which encourage people to pursue careers in
construction."
Camo to KBR is a comprehensive initiative to hire, train,
develop and transition military service members into the next
generation of craft professionals and create leaders for KBR and
the overall construction industry. The initiative is one
approach to address craft workforce shortage issues and develop
strong military talent into future supervisors and leaders in our
industry.
Camo to KBR is comprised of several initiatives including
on-site project recruitment and training of veterans, partnerships
with veterans organizations like NextOp in Houston, and partnering with the National
Center for Construction Education & Research (NCCER) on their
military credentialing reciprocity program. KBR also
collaborated with Ft. Polk base
command, Soldier For Life, and Central Louisiana Technical College to create a pipefitting
training program for active duty soldiers who are
transitioning to civilian life.
"KBR is proud to help soldiers build on the foundation of their
military training and provide a vehicle for veterans to translate
their skills into the craft professions as they transition to
civilian life," said Farhan Mujib,
KBR President, Engineering & Construction Americas. "Our
veterans represent an extraordinary pool of talent and discipline
that the craft industry needs."
"KBR has a long history of supporting our armed forces in the
field and at home and it is our honor to continue that legacy,"
Mujib said.
